Oba Hills Forest Reserve, Forest reserve in Iwo, Osun State, Nigeria.

Three separate hills divide this 52-square-kilometer reserve, with a teak plantation covering the western section of the protected territory.

The forest has experienced substantial changes between 1984 and 2020, losing 42.7 percent of its total forest cover due to agricultural expansion.

Local farmers in the buffer zones maintain traditional agricultural practices, while younger generations engage in hunting activities within the reserve boundaries.

International visitors can reach the forest reserve by flying into Ibadan Airport or connecting through Lagos International Airport for ground transportation.

The northern hill contains two distinct gullies and remnants of original forest growth, while the southern peak shows complete deforestation patterns.
