Farasuto Forest
Nature Reserve in Gambia
About Us
Farasuto Forest
Farasuto Forest is a relict patch of what might best be described as ‘wet evergreen forest’ though the place is only really wet during the rains – broadly from June to October. “‘About a century ago most of the Gambia … was reported to be covered by dense and almost impenetrable forest even after large areas had been cleared for groundnut cultivation. At that time the forests were rich in wildlife … [and] habitat for a variety of large mammals which are nowadays rare (such as hippopotamus, waterbuck, roan) or extinct (such as buffalo, giraffe, elephant, lion etc.)” FAO Corporate Document Repository. What is forest? For those unfamiliar with true forest then ‘jungle’ might conjure up the right image; magnificent tall trees with buttress roots, darkness, heat, humidity, dense greenery and the inability to see more than a few metres down the track and often much less into the vegetation at your side. And silence but for strange sounds – songs, cries and calls emanating from things unseen even when you search for them. That is during the wet season – access is easier in the dry season.
