Eastern Province, Administrative region in southeastern Sierra Leone.
The Eastern Province spans 15,553 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, including the Gola Hills and Loma Mountains near the borders of Guinea and Liberia.
Mining operations in the Eastern Province started in the 1930s, transforming the region into the primary center for diamond extraction in Sierra Leone.
The province includes numerous ethnic groups such as the Limba, Kono, and Temne people, with Islam practiced by 69.4% of the population and Christianity by 29%.
Kenema, the provincial capital, functions as an administrative center while coordinating trade activities through local markets and commercial establishments.
The Gola Hills forest contains populations of chimpanzees, endemic bird species, and a small number of pygmy hippopotamuses within its protected areas.
