Daallo Mountain, located in the eastern Sanaag region of Somaliland, is part of the Ogo Mountains and a site of historical significance, once inhabited by the ancient ancestors of many Somali tribes. The mountain rises steeply from the coastal plain to a limestone escarpment, with an average annual rainfall of about 650 mm at its summit. The area is home to a dense forest of ancient trees, some over 1000 years old, and is rich in medicinal plants. As an Important Bird Area (IBA), Daallo hosts species such as the Warsangli linnet and Socotra golden-winged grosbeak, along with mammals like the gerenuk, Somali wild ass, and beira.
