Cross–Niger transition forests
open-in-new
<p>The Cross–Niger transition forests is a <a href="/facts/Tropical_and_subtropical_moist_broadleaf_forests/yR0TXBHb">tropical moist broadleaf forest</a> <a href="/facts/Ecoregion/MbBgAph9">ecoregion</a> of southeastern <a href="/facts/Nigeria/gbW17BX8">Nigeria</a>, located between the <a href="/facts/Niger_River/jDWfmWCx">Niger River</a> on the west and the <a href="/facts/Cross_River_(Nigeria)/Y9so8cJo">Cross River</a> on the east. Once a rich mixture of tropical forest and savanna woodland covered these low, rolling hills but today, this is one of the most densely populated areas of Africa and today most of the forest has been removed and the area is now grassland. </p>
