  According to the Oxford Dictionary, a Game Reserve is a large area of land set aside as a protected area for wild animals. Game reserves contain a wide range of fauna and flora unique to the particular habitat set aside for conservation.

Nigeria is home to a lot of unique plants and animals; we even have some endangered species. That’s why we have Game Reserves to protect them. Most of the Game Reserves in Nigeria were once Forest Reserves. Game Reserves differ from nature reserve because hunting is not entirely prohibited in a Game Reserve; it’s just controlled. Today we will look at the Game Reserves in Nigeria regardless of who manages it or its nomenclature. Here is a list of some Game Reserves (national parks included) in Nigeria:

Game reserves provide secure habitats for our country’s rare, endangered and endemic plant and animal species. For instance, we know Okomu National Park is the home to the White-Throated Monkey, a rare primate native to Nigeria. And Gashaka Gumti has over 500 species of birds, including the Red-Faced Lovebird, which is only found in Nigeria and the Central African Republic. Our inability to manage these Game reserves properly has led to the loss of the black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis), West African giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis Peralta), West African wild dog (Lycaon pictus manguensis) and cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) from Nigeria. With proper surveillance, access to the national grid’s electricity, improved mobile services, rehabilitated facilities and infrastructure, we might just have Game Reserves in Nigeria that we are proud of.
