Nigerian Rainforest Action

The West African Equatorial Forest on the Akaibom/Cross River States borders in the south of Nigeria is being systematically destroyed. It is a site of endangered species and abundant wildlife yet up to 80% of the forest cover has been depleted. The Solidarity Movement of the southern minority of Nigeria is trying to stop these activities by Chinese­owned loggers Wemp Co. They are trying to start off a campaign in the UK and would like groups to help in this venture. Contact 0956 358865
