In the Kambui Forest Hills Reserve, Sierra Leone’s wilderness is under threat. Rangers from the National Protected Area Authority (NPAA) are tasked with guarding the forest against illegal miners and loggers. Sierra Leone has one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, according to the Environmental Performance Index. Since 2000, the country has lost over 35% of its total tree cover, according to Global Forest Watch, an online monitoring platform.
