Lagos Expansion Raises Concern for Lekki Conservation Centre

Rapid urban development around Lekki Conservation Centre is reportedly putting pressure on its forest and wetlands. A report says nearby construction, land reclamation and changes to water flow may be affecting the area and its wildlife habitats. Established in 1990, the centre covers about 78 hectares and is known for its 401-metre canopy walkway. It is one of Lagos’ major nature and tourist attractions. Development is important for a growing city, but green spaces are becoming increasingly precious. Should Lagos impose stricter limits on development around the centre, or is urban expansion unavoidable?
