π STOP mining on Mt. Nimba! π΅ Re:wild, iucn_sga and five other international conservation groups are urging Guinea to reconsider iron-ore mining impacting the UNESCO World Heritage site to protect threatened species including:
π΅ Critically Endangered Western Chimpanzees, which are culturally unique here in their use of tools, nest-building, and dining on crabs π¦
πΈ Critically Endangered Western Nimba Toads that give birth to live toadlets
π¦ Over 55 species of bats, including species found nowhere else on Earth
π Protecting Mt. Nimba means protecting biodiversity, communities, and the future of West Africaβs environment. π Together we are calling for a 5-year renewable moratorium on mining, stronger protections for threatened species, and sustainable financing to safeguard this irreplaceable ecosystem.
