”We have handed them over to law enforcement agencies for necessary action. The agency will put appropriate measures to safeguard the forest and animals.

“Action will be taken to checkmate further encroachment in the Falgore game reserve to stop the menace”, he said.

Kura-Muhammed further explained that if felling of trees continue, forest reserve, source of River Kano will be destroyed completely.

NAN reports that Falgore Game Reserve (92,000&nbsp;ha), formerly Kogin Kano Forest Reserve, is located some 110&nbsp;km south of Kano on the Jos–Kano road. The vegetation is open Northern Guinea Savanna woodland with elements of the Sudan Savanna in the north. Tree heights reach 9–14&nbsp;m.

The northern boundary is formed by the artificial Lake Tiga which, when full, submerges the north-western tip of the reserve. The reserve is bisected by the Kano river which, together with its tributaries, the Maiwa, Kumbo and Randa, drain the reserve.

To the south-east of Falgore lies Lame Burra Game Reserve (205,900&nbsp;ha) in Bauchi State. There also the vegetation is typical Northern Guinea Savanna with, in the north, areas of transition to Sudan Savanna.

The 50&nbsp;km wide strip of thinly inhabited, unprotected savanna woodland that separates the reserves.
