The highest peak in this range is Mount Kupe at {{convert|2064|m|ft}}. They contain a large area of cloud forest, and have considerable ecological interest. The mountains are home to the Bakossi people.[1] The climate is tropical, with rainfall throughout the year. The drier season lasts from November to March, with cold nights and hot days. The rainy season starts in April and peaks between late August and the end of October. The soil is fertile, supporting coffee and cocoa as cash crops. The mountains hold the Bakossi Forest Reserve, a {{convert|5,517|km2|sqmi}} reserve created in 1956. In 2000, the main section of the reserve was designated a protection forest. All logging was banned and Kupe became a "strict nature reserve". The local Bakossi people participated in delineating the boundaries.[1] The Forest Reserve in turn contains the Bakossi National Park, created by a decree in early 2008. The park covers {{convert|29320|ha|acre}}, and was justified on the basis of preserving plant diversification.[2] References1. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=n5SIgMEVYAgC&pg=PA87 |page=87 |title=Ecology and Natural Resource Development in the Western Highlands of Cameroon: Issues in Natural Resource Management |author=Cornelius Mbifung Lambi, Emmanuel Ndenecho Neba |publisher=African Books Collective |year=2009 |ISBN=9956-615-48-X}} [3]2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.kew.org/ucm/groups/public/documents/document/kppcont_027008.pdf |title=A National Park – The Bakossi National Park in Cameroon |publisher=Kew Gardens |date=September 2010 |accessdate=2011-08-25 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111118053803/http://www.kew.org/ucm/groups/public/documents/document/kppcont_027008.pdf |archivedate=2011-11-18 |df= }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.kew.org/science/wta/kupe_bakossi.html |title=Western Cameroon Projects: Mount Kupe & the Bakossi Mountains |publisher=Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew |accessdate=2011-02-11| archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20110101134205/http://www.kew.org/science/wta/kupe_bakossi.html| archivedate= 1 January 2011 | deadurl= no}} }}{{DEFAULTSORT:Bakossi mountains}} 4 : Volcanoes of Cameroon|Mountain ranges of Cameroon|Littoral Region (Cameroon)|Southwest Region (Cameroon) |
