		The Cross River gorilla’s critically endangered status is due to its small population (approximately150-200 individuals), which is fragmented into 5-6 subpopulations of 20-40 individuals each (Figure 2), making it the most rare of the gorilla subspecies and even more endangered than the well-known Mountain gorillas of the Virungas.
		Even though Nigerian Federal and Cross River State laws protect gorillas, hunting of gorillas for bushmeat still occurs and is often undetected and/or occurs without consequence to the hunter.
		The Cross River gorilla’s unique habitat (compared with western lowland gorillas) is characterized by a highly seasonal rainfall pattern, relatively high altitudes of 2,000 m or greater and distribution of herbs (the gorillas staple diet) in widely dispersed patches.

	Project: NIGERIA: CROSS RIVER STATE COMMUNITY FORESTRY PROJECT (CRSCF)
		Cross River State contains the largest amount of Tropical High Forest remaining in Nigeria (0.85 million hectares), and 32% of the State is still forested (Forest Sector Strategy, 1994), although its quality and density varies across the State's three agro-ecological zones.
		This situation has been exacerbated by the creation of the Cross River National Park in 1991, which removed 355,700 ha of forest reserve (or 55% of the Tropical High Forest) from consideration for commercial logging and/or clearance for agriculture, and thereby put increased pressure on the remaining exploitable areas.
		The State's forest resources were mapped and inventoried (at a low intensity) and the project facilitated a series of studies on the timber sector, non-timber forest products, the socio-economic context, farming systems and the perceptions and requirements of communities living within the forestry environment.
