A Nile monitor was recently spotted in Ikere by one of our Citizen Science participants(Mr Ajayi Gbenga). Africa’s largest lizard is rare, valuable & vital to our ecosystem. If you see one, observe, don’t chase! Let’s respect & protect Ekiti’s rich biodiversity. #EkitiForNature

Spotted in Ikogosi, Ekiti: A Northern Bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus) — shy, solitary, and beautifully marked. Let’s protect Ekiti’s forests and wildlife. #EkitiWildlife #BiodiversityMatters #Conservation #NigeriaNature

Ever heard of a plant called “Bread and Cheese”? Don’t be fooled by the name, it’s not food! It’s Paullinia pinnata, a climbing vine found in Ekiti’s forests. Packed with powerful medicinal benefits, it’s a reminder of the rich biodiversity hidden in our natural environment.
