The Upper Guinean forests extend from Sierra Leone and Guinea in the west through Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, and Ghana to Togo in the east.
The Lower Guinean forests extend east from Benin through Nigeria and Cameroon.
The Lower Guinean forests also extend south past the Sanaga River, the southern boundary of the hotspot, into southern Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Cabinda, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.
According to some sources, deforestation has already wiped out roughly 90% of West Africa's original forests.
