Would love to go on such a field trip. I wanted to visit the Omo Oluwa Shasha forest (sp.) this year when I visited but there was no information available on how to plan a visit and I wasn't prepared to venture into such an unknown and unexplored forest on my own. I will eventually get to see these elephants some day.

It's not surprising that Nigerians don't know that there are elephants in the country. Forest elephants are very elusive and Nigeria is not really big on nature and conservation.
Please which state is the forest located? Local Government too

A lot of people including myself thought they were extinct in SW Nigeria.

They are still around but very elusive, it takes a miracle to even have a sighting grin. Am sure that is an adaptation against those poachers who were always on their trail.

The closest you can see is their droppings, other than that Na serious ultimate search things cheesy . . .

Please which state is the forest located? Local Government too

I believe it borders 3 states. The name, Omo-Oluwa-Shasha actually comprises of 3 forest reserves with the three names.

The Omo forest reserve is in Ogun state/Onto

The Oluwa forest reserve is in Ondostate

and I believe the Shasha forest reserve is in Osun state.

I am sorry, I can't really help with the local government areas. My knowledge is limited to states only unfortunately. My little knowledge of the area also contributed to my inability to get information about visits to the reserves.Apparently, one of them used to be well developed with residential facilities in the form of shacks and cabins.

I am sure that the Nigerian Conservation Foundation can provide that information if you contact them.

There is an initiative to preserve forest elephants. It is called the "Omo-Shasha-Oluwa Forest Elephant Initiative"

Thats pretty much all I know about these forest reserves. Are you looking to visit the reserve? If you do find out more information about visiting the place, kindly alert me please.

Bush elephants in SW Nigeria is almost unbelievable. This fp stuff.A team needs to capture a few, attach tracking devices and map the entire herds so that we can better understand their life patterns. For those who are saying it is not a relevant topic therein is why Oyinbo will always be better then the black man.
anything black man captures is either a witch or bush meat

Many thanks. Will keep that in mind next time.

How was your field trip to the Shasha forest by the way? Besides the elephants, any other interesting animals? Did you access the forest through Dagongbo as you suggested?

I can ask questions forever but I'll stop here.

Scope of the highest order!
Dem just bring any picture dey claim say NA naija.
First of all Elephants inhabit savanna regions and not Rain Forests like we have in the south west.
Secondly since when did we have such wildlife lovers that are ready to go and plant sensor /infra Red cameras in the deep forest?
If this NA Naija make I suspend for air

undecidedHmmm that's like saying, 'in a sane country, all the free growing fruit trees would be cut down so no one can get access to free fruits and so have to go to super markets to buy fruits grown by farmers'

which of course is the situation in the West - to a large extent - and one of the odd things about capitalism
