It is the highest of the Bakossi mountains, rising to {{convert|2,064|m|ft}}.[1] The mountain is revered by the local Bakossi people as the home of their ancestral and forest spirits.[2] Missionaries in the 1890s observed that the mountain had a strong magical reputation, and it still has an important role in beliefs related to ekong, a form of witchcraft.[2] The mountain used to be forest-covered apart from a few small grassy areas near the summit. The causes of deforestation in the Bakossi landscape, are shifting cultivation, logging for timber, felling for fuelwood, growth and expansion of human settlements and establishment of pasture lands. [3] All sides of the mountain have been steadily converted to agricultural use. Forest has been cleared up to 1,500m on the eastern slopes and up to between 750m and 1,100m on the western and northern sides, above the villages of Mbule and Nyasoso. As of 2010, there was still primary mid-altitude and montane rainforest on the northern side. The cloud forest supports rich biodiversity, and is home to chimpanzees and several species of threatened primates.[2] The Mount Kupe bushshrike Telophorus kupeensis is known to be endangered due to its small range and declining quality of its habitat.[4] The Mount Kupe Forest Project was at first managed by BirdLife International, later by WWF-UK and then by WWF-Cameroon. As of 2010 the project was dormant.[5] References1. ^{{cite journal |jstor=4117826 |title=A new species of Coffea (Rubiaceae) and notes on Mount Kupe (Cameroon) |author1=Piet Stoffelen |author2=Martin Cheek |author3=Diana Bridson |author4=Elamr Robbrecht |journal=Kew Bulletin |year=1997 |volume=52 |pages=989–994 |doi=10.2307/4117826}} [6]2. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Wiwo5uwBzXAC&pg=PA51 |pages=51–52 |title=The power of the occult in modern Africa: continuity and innovation in the renewal of African cosmologies |author=James Kiernan |publisher=LIT Verlag Münster |year=2006 |ISBN=3-8258-8761-8}} 3. ^Environmental Problems in the Bakossi Landscape: A Handbook for Environmental Educators by Ekpe Inyang 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.birdlife.org/datazone/speciesfactsheet.php?id=6190 |title=Mount Kupe Bush-shrike Telophorus kupeensis |publisher=BirdLife International |accessdate=2011-02-04}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.kew.org/science/wta/kupe_bakossi.html |title=Western Cameroon Projects: Mount Kupe & the Bakossi Mountains |publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew |accessdate=2011-02-04}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iRoSWScaz-YC&pg=PA1190 |page=1190 |title=The rough guide to West Africa |chapter=Mount Kupe |author1=Jim Hudgens |author2=Richard Trillo |publisher=Rough Guides |year=2003 |ISBN=1-84353-118-6}} }}{{DEFAULTSORT:Kupe}} 2 : Volcanoes of Cameroon|Mountains of Cameroon |
