Figure 1
The geographic map is centered on “Sierra Leone”, with surrounding regions partially visible. The map includes labeled locations such as “Koidu Town”, “Kenema”, “Bo”, “Waterloo”, and “Kambia”. The map uses two visual categories shown in the legend at the bottom. “Primary forests” are indicated in green areas, while “Tree cover loss” is represented by widespread pink shading across the map. Large portions of the country are covered in pink, indicating tree cover loss distributed throughout central, eastern, and southern regions. Green areas representing primary forests appear as smaller, scattered patches, mainly in the eastern and southeastern regions and in areas near the coast. The coastline is visible along the southwestern edge, where land meets water. Administrative boundaries and place names are overlaid on the map. In the top right corner, zoom controls with plus and minus symbols are shown.Map of forests and tree cover loss of Sierra Leone 2000–2024. Source(s): Global Forest Watch
