Stop Sand Mining and Protect the Beautiful Beaches of Sierra Leone


Stop Sand Mining and Protect the Beautiful Beaches of Sierra Leone
The Issue
Sierra Leone has one of the most beautiful costal landscapes in the world with stunning rainforest rolling down to amazing white sand beaches boasting rare wildlife including nesting sea turtles and long snout crocodiles. The beaches are rapidly being removed for construction all over the peninsula - up to 100 trucks a day loading sand up for sale in Freetown. We need to protect the beaches and the natural life they support for future generations and the potential employment that can be created for the nation via tourism.
