Gishwati Forest in Rwanda is a biodiverse natural reserve located in the western part of the country. It is part of the Gishwati-Mukura National Park, which was established to protect the rich variety of plant and animal species inhabiting the area. The forest is home to several species of primates, including the eastern chimpanzee and the golden monkey, as well as numerous bird species. Efforts have been made to restore and conserve the forest, which had suffered from deforestation and habitat degradation in the past.
