The Republic of Guinea is located in West Africa. It is a coastal country (340 km of coastline along the Atlantic Ocean with an area of 245,857 km²). The reference state of biological diversity in Guinea has a rich and diverse ecosystemic and specific diversity. The main groups of ecosystems identified are terrestrial ecosystems (humid dense forests, dry dense forests and forest galleries, savannas, mountains, forest plantations, agro-ecosystems and built ecosystems), freshwater ecosystems (1,161 rivers spread over 23 river basins including 14 international river basins), coastal and marine ecosystems (coastal clear forests, mangrove, island and marine ecosystems. Today, our ecosystem is threatened by several factors including : Anarchic logging Pollution of marine waters Industrial and mining operations Demographic pressure Some of these factors resulted in : Vast areas of dense forests have disappeared, causing drought and threatening the water sources. The decrease in the country's forest cover which leads to a variation in the seasons for example the Upper Guinean Forest which shelters an exceptional concentration of species such as the forest elephant, the pygmy hippopotamus and the rosewood are threatened with extinction due to human activities the ecosystem of the Upper Guinean Forest which once covered a large part of the West African region but now only fragments and vestiges are found in some places of the guinea. According to the programmatic document of the Ministry of Environment mainly on the threats of climate change to natural and socio-economic systems On the ecological level: the prolonged immersion of the mangrove could lead to a loss of biodiversity (Second National Communication, 2018; PANA, 2007). Sea level rise would threaten coastal zone biotopes whose disappearance, degradation or salinization would constitute high risks for biodiversity. In terms of security: almost 30% of the coastal population, estimated at more than half a million people, would lose their homes; a massive displacement of populations would cause serious consequences if adaptation measures are not taken. In terms of health: with the increase in the number of watersides favorable to the proliferation of disease-carrying agents such as malaria and diarrhea, we could see a resurgence of epidemics. Also, the rise in sea level could affect drinking water resources. (Second National Communication, 2018; PANA, 2007). In the face of these various threats it is important to become aware of our attitudes towards our environment in order to build a world where future generations can live in peace and for this reason it is necessary that everyone involved contributes effectively to protect our environment. |

Hello sandy
Greetings from Nepal
Thank you for sharing this report on current situation of your country. Deforestation is main cause of habitat loss in our country too. Our misbehaviour towards environment leads to cause negative impact on our biodiversity conservation.
Keep writing keep sharing
We are looking forward to know more from you.

Hello Sandy,
this is your mentor WooJoo.
Warm greetings from South Korea.
People have to be aware that human activities, including deforestation, will lead to sequent outcomes that would bring up dangers to human civilizations too.
Possible outcomes can be acidification, extinction of animals, and especially lack of food and threatening of diseases.
It is sad that this point is being ignored, and Upper Guinean Forest has been destroyed so much.
I sincerely hope that all the nations get united and establish strict regulations to prevent massive deforestation
Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.
And please remember to include references to prevent violation of copyrights.
Sincerely,
WooJoo
