<!-- INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPLOADING SITE INFORMATION
 +
- Wiki pages contain information in paragraphs, tables, lists, and images.
 +
- Text and images are not restricted, and their formats can be chosen as desired.
 +
- Tables and lists are extracted as data, so the following restrictions apply to them:
 +
  1) Table structure cannot be changed.
 +
  2) List format should not change, i.e. they are comma separated lists, not bullet points or numbered lists.
 +
  3) To make information comparable across wiki pages, keywords must be taken from the list of permitted words, or added to the list of permitted keywords. This is why we use official lists, e.g., IUCN classification lists, in our tables.

Established in 1996, Banyang-Mbo Wildlife Sanctuary (BMWS) is situated between [[Korup National Park]] to the west and Santchou Wildlife Reserve to the east. With 322 bird species recorded, the site is an Important Bird Area (BirdLife International 2020). Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzees, mandrills, and forest elephants are present in BMWS. The population of forest elephants has been significantly reduced by poaching. BMWS falls naturally into two sections: the northern block where the terrain is mostly flat, and a mountainous southern block, which includes a small part of the Bakossi mountains (BirdLife International 2020).
