<p>Due to the variation in altitude within the municipality, two main ecological sub-zones arise ;</p>

<!-- wp:list -->
<ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>The high altitude zone, characterized by sparsely wooden savannah,</li>

<!-- wp:list-item -->
<li>The low altitude zone with tall grass species.</li>
<!-- /wp:list-item --></ul>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><br>Both natural and artificial forests exist with a high predominance in timber production, especially<br>around high altitude zones where the eucalyptus is the main species exploited, covering over<br>122 ha on private plantations. Exploitation is also carried out on a small scale in natural forests of<br>the Mbaw plain with major species being mahogany, Iroko (Melicia excelsa), and Sapele<br>(Entandrophragma cylindricum)</p>

<p>There is an acute encroachment of forest lands within the municipality and as a result, a<br>reduction in the number as well as the species of forest animals. The main fauna here include;<br>monkeys, cane rats (grass cutters), rabbits, deer, antelopes, and rat moles. Also, the population<br>around the forest actively carry out hunting which also contributes to the reduction in the number<br>of species in the forests.</p>
