The '''Cross–Niger transition forests''' are a [[tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests|tropical moist broadleaf forest]] [[ecoregion]] of southeastern [[Nigeria]], located between the [[Niger River]] on the west and the [[Cross River (Nigeria)|Cross River]] on the east. Once a rich mixture of tropical forest and savanna woodland covered these low, rolling hills but today this is one of the most densely populated areas of Africa and today most of the forest has been removed and the area is now grassland.<ref name='ecomap'>{{cite web|title=Map of Ecoregions 2017|url=https://ecoregions2017.appspot.com/|publisher=Resolve|language=en|access-date=August 20, 2021}}</ref><ref name='dopa'>{{cite web|title=Cross–Niger transition forests|url=https://dopa-explorer.jrc.ec.europa.eu/ecoregion/30106|publisher=Digital Observatory for Protected Areas|language=en|access-date=August 20, 2021}}</ref><ref name= 'eoe'>{{cite web|title=Cross–Niger transition forests|url=https://editors.eol.org/eoearth/wiki/Cross-Niger_transition_forests|publisher=The Encyclopedia of Earth|language=en|access-date=August 20, 2021}}</ref>
