The wooded area is a nature reserve and part of the island-wide Important Bird Area with an area of 14,118 hectares. Agriculture is practiced up to a height of 600 m . More than 700 m there are still stocks of tropical forest, especially in the protected valleys. However, the search for firewood endangers the forest. The reserve can be reached via footpaths from Anartuto . You can only get there by off-road vehicle over a road from the coastal town of Beloi .
