The tour of the Gola Rainforest by the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, and entourage, together with the Conversation Society of Sierra Leone, shows how important and exemplary this landscape is.
Gola Rainforest has put Sierra Leone on the conservation map especially as the only National Park in West Africa that is currently engaged in carbon trade. This is thanks to CSSL and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) who are very important partners of the government of Sierra Leone that ensured the protection and conservation of this biodiversity-rich rainforest national park in Sierra Leone.
The rainforest national park is the lungs of Sierra Leone, and thus a fundamental component of our survival as a human race.
On behalf of Conservation Society of Sierra Leone, I am expressing my sincere gratitude to the Environment and Climate Change Minister for prioritizing this visit and we will always be by him in conservation efforts in Sierra Leone.
