The Tano Nimri or Tano Nimiri Forest Reserve is found in south-western Ghana. It was established in 1935. It covers an area of 206 km2 (80 sq mi).[1]
Environment
[edit]The terrain between the Nimri and Tano rivers is rugged, characterised by steep slopes and valleys that flood during rainfall. The southern third is vegetated with wet evergreen forest; the rest with moist evergreen forest.[2]
The reserve has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of many bird species.[2]
It is thought that western chimpanzees are present in the reserve (Magnuson et al., 2003).
