The Mabi/Yaya Classified Forest is found in Ivory Coast, and it covers 294 km2 (114 sq mi).[1] The village Kossandji is partially surrounded by the forest, and the town of Annépé is close to its western edge. It is classified as IUCN category IV.[2]

Environment

[edit]

The reserve has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports significant populations of many bird species, including the white-breasted guineafowl.[3] It is one of the last habitats of the forest toad Sclerophrys togoensis.[4]
