Wildlife of Guinea
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
The wildlife of Guinea is very diverse due to the wide variety of different habitats. The southern moist part of the country lies within Guinean Forests of West Africa Biodiversity Hotspot, however the north-east characterized by dry savanna. Ecoregions of Guinea are Western Guinean lowland forest, Guinean montane forest, Guinean forest-savanna mosaic, West Sudanian Savanna, and Guinean mangroves.
Unfortunately, declining populations of large mammals restricted to uninhabited distant parts of parks and reserves, because of inadequate conservation management. An NGO specialized to conservation of Guinean wildlife is Guinean Park Foundation. Notable strongholds of Guinean wildlife are National Park of Upper Niger, Badiar National Park, Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve, Ziama Massif Classified Forest, and Diécké Classified Forest.
