The quest to reconnect imperiled rainforest in West Africa
Conservationists in Côte d’Ivoire are working with local communities and the national parks agency to establish an ecological corridor connecting Taï National Park with Grebo National Park in Liberia, aiming to restore habitat connectivity for wildlife. The initiative involves local residents planting native trees on their farms to support animal movement and forest regeneration. This effort could help protect biodiversity and promote the recovery of the fragmented Upper Guinean rainforest. Local leaders and conservation groups are collaborating to ensure the corridor’s success, emphasizing community involvement in the process.
