From 14 million hectares of forest in the '60s, Guinea now finds itself with less than 700,000 hectares. This excessive deforestation therefore makes Guinea one of the bad pupils in forest conservation. The country is unfortunately one of the countries with the fastest rates of deforestation in the world. A situation that is both worrying and appalling, which today worries both governors and ruled The diversity of the Guinean forest according to the natural regions directly reflects the economic and social practices of the populations. Hold ! In Maritime Guinea, the dense forest that once existed on the coastal plain of Guinea has almost disappeared. Only one relic remains (for scientific reasons), in a naturally protected site in Kaméléya, in Forécariah prefecture. The savannas resulting from fallows which develop quite easily in the plain are at the mercy of the flames every year. The same situation prevails in the prefecture of Kissidougou according to the forest guards. Source: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.guineenews.org/dossier-deforestation-effrenee-en-guinee
