Reforestation of Degraded lands in Sierra Leone

Miro Forestry Developments Ltd is restoring 12,000 hectares in the Tonkolili and Port Loco Districts of Sierra Leone. These areas experienced land degradation due to lack of forest cover, leading to soil erosion which affected both environmental stability and local livelihoods. The project consists of the establishment of high-quality commercial forestry plantations with short rotation species, for producing timber products for domestic and international markets, and providing environmental, social and economic benefits to local communities.
