This rich diversity provides a habitat for several species of forest animals such as Bush Bucks, Royal Antelope, Duiker, Box Monitor Lizard, African python, Monitor Lizard, countless species of Birds and Butterflies including three (3) different species of Monkey to name but a few. Within the 210acre forest model is 100-acres of restored indigenous forest in which over 30 of the most endangered tree species have been replanted to serve as a source of Mother Tree Conservation and a source of seedlings for replicating the model at other locations. Various Eco-trails for practically experiencing the wonder and majesty of endangered almost extinct trees such as Odum, (Iroko) Hydua, Asanfina, Makore, Niangon, Edinam, Walnut, Emire and Wawa to name but a few have been built into the conserved natural forest. Portal is currently transitioning from the conservation and Forest Development Stage to a full-fledged Sustainably Managed Forest Estate with revenue streams built around 7 main business.
