摘要:
Liberia lies entirely within the Upper Guinea rain forest belt of tropical West Africa. The Upper Guinea rain forest, with 22 endemic bird species, is a major area of endemism for birds in Africa. Despite extensive deforestation, Liberia still contains the two largest tracts of forest, comprising 50% of the remaining Upper Guinea rain forest (ALLPORT 1991). The historical and present trends of deforestation in the country are reviewed.
