Established by Chevron and the Nigerian Conservation Foundation in 1990, it features diverse ecosystems including swamp forests, savannah, and wetlands.

It serves as Lagos's green lung, offering respite from urban congestion while promoting conservation awareness. The center demonstrates that development and nature conservation can coexist.
