Environment Protection Agency Sierra Leone

 



Because of the potential negative impacts of mining, it is completely forbidden in all protected areas in Sierra Leone. To show our commitment, we (#EPASL) have stopped JM Mining's activities in the Kambui Hills Forest Reserve in the Eastern Province. The next few months will see more of such actions and the launch of a #NationalEnvironmentalEnforcementCoordinationMechanism that will encourage good practice to protect the environment through strict enforcement of the law.
