Lofa-Mano National Park

Lofa-Mano National Park is a protected forest area in northwestern Liberia that stretches along the border with Sierra Leone. The land consists of rainforest with rivers and varied habitats that support different animal populations.

The park was established in 1979 to protect the forests and wildlife in the region. Since then, it has become an important conservation zone for endangered species.

Local communities have lived with these forests for generations and continue to use traditional knowledge about plants and animals. Visitors can observe how people maintain their connection to the land in practical ways.

Reaching the park requires planning because it is remote and services are limited in the area. Visitors should arrange transportation and lodging well in advance and check local conditions before traveling.

The park connects forest areas on both sides of the border and creates a natural corridor for animals moving between countries. This connection makes it valuable for species that need large territories to roam.
