The Nigerian Mangrove and Wildlife Development

Abstract

The Nigerian mangrove ecosystem is mostly fragmented deltaic formation located in the River Niger Delta.
Occasionally what should have been continuous and uniform mangrove forest in the Delta Islands are
interrupted by beach Ridge Island forests sandwiched between the coastal beaches and the estuarine
mangrove and island within the mangrove forests. The beach ridge forests typically contain lowland rainforest
species. Some have large areas of high quality forests with high concentrations of biodiversity as in Andoni
area.
