The Lofa-Mano National Park is a proposed national park in Liberia. It was proposed in 1979. This site is 2,300 square kilometres (890 sq mi). [1] The park was proposed to protect an area of unexploited [2] forest in the north-west of the country, bordering Sierra Leone, an area described ecologically at the time as "certainly the most abundant in Liberia". [1] The national park area would complement the adjoining Gola Forest area of Sierra Leone. [3]
The forests are home to species of threatened birds, [1] and the Pan-African duiker. [4]
This area has a high value of biodiversity, where over 60 globally endangered species live, and it is also a critical corridor for wildlife. [5]
