Okomu Forest Reserve

The Okomu Forest Reserve is a forest block covering an area of 1081 km in Edo State, about 50 km west of Benin City, Nigeria. The Okomu National Park lies within the reserve. The park holds a small part of the forests that once covered the region, and is the last habitat for many endangered species.
The Okomu Forest Reserve was originally established by the British colonial government in 1912.
