Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve

Ivory Coast, Ivory Coast · built 1944

Mount Nimba Strict Nature Reserve (Réserve naturelle intégrale du Mont Nimba) is a protected area and UNESCO World Heritage Site located in both Guinea and Côte d'Ivoire, extending over a total of area of 175.4 km2 (43, 300 acres), with 125.4 km2 (31, 000 acres) in Guinea, and 50 km2 (12, 000 acres) in Côte d'Ivoire. The reserve covers significant portions of the Nimba Range, a geographically unique area with unusually rich flora and fauna, including exceptional numbers of single-site endemic species, such as Nimbaphrynoides (a genus of viviparous toads), the Nimba otter shrew, and multiple species of horseshoe bats. Its highest peak is Mount Richard-Molard at 1,752 m (5, 750 ft), which is the highest peak of both countries.
