The Gashaka-Gumti National Park in Nigeria has endured illegal logging, poaching, uncontrolled grazing, and bush clearing for decades. In response, the Africa Nature Investors Foundation has partnered with Nigeria's National Park Service since 2017 to restore the area as a sanctuary for wildlife and indigenous plants. A notable moment in the park includes seeing the striped kingfisher, which exemplifies the natural beauty the park possesses. The ongoing restoration illustrates the commitment to preserving this unique ecosystem for future generations.
