Decreased by more than 80% over three generations. Greatest threats are habitat loss, poaching, and disease.

Western Chimpanzee

Smaller than the savanna elephant, and much more endangered, mostly thanks to the ivory trade. At one point, decreased by 65% in 12 years

Forest Elephant

Agriculture, logging, and human settlement are causing ongoing declines in habitat size and quality.

This project conserves the largest remaining area of Upper Guinea rainforest in Sierra Leone, home to chimpanzees, hippos, and forest elephants.  Help to uplift 122 cocoa-farming communities after years of conflict and the Ebola outbreak.

The Gola Rainforest is a catalyst for peace, prosperity, and national pride in Sierra Leone. It conserves globally important habitats in the 70,000-hectare Gola Rainforest National Park and Greater Gola Landscape, the largest remaining area of Upper Guinea rainforest in Sierra Leone. It is a biodiversity hotspot and is home to thousands of bird, butterfly, plant, and mammal species, including chimpanzees, forest elephants, and the enigmatic pygmy hippo.  Leading the way towards a sustainably managed landscape spanning Liberia and Sierra Leone of over 350,000 ha, the project ensures that communities are active stewards of the forests that maintain and enhance their lives.
