Proposed focus area
Ogun River
A river where we have little current information, so listening and measuring come before anything else.
West Africa
Nigeria
Proposed focus area
The Ogun River: understanding a river before acting on it.
Geography and context
Nigeria is West Africa's largest country by population, with a long Atlantic coast. The Ogun River is in the south-west of the country.
The evidence we have for the Ogun is a single 2018 study of one site, so our first step would be to learn more rather than assume.
Proposed focus area
Opportunities we may explore
Proposals only. Nothing has started.
- Find current, reliable information about the river from people who work on it.
- Explore independent water-quality monitoring at a small number of agreed sites.
- Learn from Nigerian conservation organizations about how best to take part.
- Treat this as the earliest-stage focus area on our list.
Organizations to explore
