Home to over 40% of West Africa’s Upper Guinea Forest, Liberia offers a rich habitat for a diverse array of natural species, not least Liberia’s enduring national symbol, the shy pygmy hippopotamus.

Unquestionably, Liberia’s diverse wildlife is its hidden treasure – large primate populations, hundreds of bird species and even herds of African forest elephant, the last remaining significant populations in West Africa, find sanctuary beneath the dense uninterrupted canopies of forest cover that span almost half of the country’s landscapes.
