In 2022, we entered into the #people's #paradise and moved around the paradise for 17 days. We came out with a whopping record of 128 #dragonfly and #damselfly #species, 12 #new #records in #Nigeria and 3 #new #species to #Science! The #report is finally out. Link in the repost
🌳🪵 Tragically, owing to its excellent timber, the Iroko tree is now in short supply, and even more so now that the mother trees planted for breeding in Ogunpa Forest Reserve have been logged, uprooted and quickly sold. #saveogunpaforestreserve #haltthedestructionofogunpaforest
🌳🪵 In addition, our very own, very special #Iroko tree has potent #medicinal benefits. The bark has analgesic properties which is used in #herbal remedies for pain relief. While the latex that oozes out of the bark contains #antiseptic compounds. #saveogunpaforestreserve
🌳🪵The Iroko tree, also known as African Teak, although it isn't teak at all, has now been placed in the Near #Threatened #NT category, on the #IUCN #Red #List @IUCN_forests @FMEnvng @ANI_Foundation @ncfnigeria @FeedbackOYSG #saveogunpaforestreserve

🌳🪵 Old-growth trees from Ogunpa Forest Reserve being transported to the sawmills in Ibadan, were a constant feature of the rush hour traffic in the first half of 2024. #saveogunpaforestreserve #haltthedestructionofogunpaforest #restoreogunpaforestreserve
🌳🪵 Green Walk December 2023. Oyo State Government @oyostategovt Secretariat. #saveogunpaforestreserve #haltthedestructionofogunpaforest #restoreogunpaforestreserve
🌳🪵 And these same touts, not Law Enforcement agencies were deployed to protect Baywood Infrastructures from the protesting public, while they chainsawed the Forest Reserve, month after month. #saveogunpaforestreserve #haltthedestructionofogunpaforest #restoreogunpaforestreserve
🌳🪵 Baywood kept at in spite of several letters of appeal written to the Executive Governor of Oyo State @seyiamakinde Each one hand delivered and signed for at the Secretariat.
🌳🪵 The impounded cars were not released until nearly ten days later. And that only when the Oyo State Governor magnanimously agreed to return them to their owners.
🌳🪵 They didn't stop to breathe, even when the Federal Minister for Environment @FMEnvng sent a letter of clear warning to the Executive Governor of Oyo State regarding the decimation of Ogunpa Forest Reserve.

🌳🪵 They didn't bat an eyelid when the Director General of the Nigerian Conservation Foundation @ojay_78, called out the Oyo State Governor @seyiamakinde over this matter on several occasions.

🌳🪵 The #deforestation continued even when the first Ibadan lawyer bravely attempted to get a Court Injunction and the case was dismissed at the first hearing.

🌳🪵 Baywood Infrastructures Limited, ably protected by the Oyo State Governor, is still very busy removing all vegetation on Ogunpa Forest Reserve that might get in the way of their Beverly Hills project. #saveogunpaforestreserve #haltthedestructionofogunpaforest

🌳🪵 Even though the Bodija Estate Residents Association BERA, led by a prominent SAN, and supported by the Nigerian Field Society and Abiodi Biodiversity Preservation Centre, has sued both of them at the Federal High Court in Ibadan. #saveogunpaforestreserve

🌳🪵 The last hearing on the 5th of October had to be postponed to the 2nd of December 2024, because Counsel for @oyostategovt, who appeared in court, well kitted out in a facemask, said he couldn't participate in the proceedings because he had a cough. #saveogunpaforestreserve

A court case that's aimed at halting an ongoing #deforestation of a forest reserve has had a series of postponements, lasting for up to 7 months and counting. Meanwhile, the trees are being removed every single day. When the court case finally ends, what remains on that stretch?

..., over a hundred trees in the much acclaimed #Heritage #Park in the University of Ibadan @UniIbadan, were chainsawed under instruction from the University authorities!
🌳🪵 In the early hours of Wednesday, the 21st of November, while our #Nigerian #delegates at #COP29Baku were rounding up their impassioned speeches reiterating their commitment to climate change mitigation...
🌳🪵 Heritage Park, University of Ibadan @UniIbadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. 🌳🪵 Today we interrupt the ongoing saga of Ogunpa Forest Reserve, to bring you the shocking #news of the #slaughter of yet another magnificent #Urban #Green #Space in the Oyo State capital, #Ibadan.
The back end is as important as the front end! The party people are dancing at the party, while the celebrants are in pains at the back of the house! How do you have the mind to say you are contributing to solving the #ClimateCrisis while you are destroying your own forests?
While 634 Nigerian delegates are @ #COP29Baku, the people of Ibadan are powerless to stop over 5000 mature trees being destroyed in OgunpaForestReserve by @oyostategovt to build a luxury housing estate Do we know what we are doing at @COP29_AZ?@Cop29News @FMEnvng @BalarabeAbbas_
