Abstract
Mount Nimba, straddling the borders of three countries, is one of only three peaks (the other two are in Sierra Leone) above 1500 m in tropical West Africa to the west of Mount Cameroon. Thus it has many faunal elements distinct from the adjacent lowland areas. Despite a long history of biological research and the declaration of a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site in 1981, uncontrolled hunting, and open-cast iron ore mining on the Liberian side, has had devastating effects on the environment.
