The Supreme Court of Sierra Leone has delivered a decisive ruling, ending plans to establish a fish harbour in this biodiverse area adjacent to the Western Area National Park in #SierraLeone. Glimmer of hope for this #IBA ?

[Hazell Shokellu Thompson @ShokelluT]

Grim report on Deforestation in Western Area Peninsular National Park in #SierraLeone released today. 750 ha of the forest lost or degraded in 2024 alone!! That’s about 1000 international football fields!! 30 percent of the forest cover lost since 2012!! 😢

🚨 Time is running out for the African Penguin! 🐧

In just 100 years, their population has plummeted by 97%! due to Overfishing of their main food: sardines and anchovies. 🐟

@T4Cancer When my Dad started noticing he felt a bit off, he sought medical attention but was told he was fine and just aging. About six months later when it was too late, he finally got diagnosed and started treatment but couldn't make it. I wish he had been diagnosed earlier 😢
