Neini Chiefdom in the Koinadugu District where the Bintumani Mountain is located, is considered the worst affected area in the country by these rampant and indiscriminate timber. logging.
The once natural and beautiful forests at the foothills of the Bintumani Mountain have been completely destroyed.
The Alkalia Village in Neini Chiefdom was referred to as, “Kuranko London” because of its cool winter like weather.
All Gone!
Most early American and European settlers who came Sierra Leone decided to settle there all because of its beautiful weather condition.
But unfortunately, today, it has become the complete opposite of its past glory. It has almost been transformed into a desert landscape as the weather has become very very hot.
Meanwhile, the entire Koinadugu District hasn’t escaped the brutality of these indiscriminate logging.
To make matters worse for the district, those heavy-duty trucks carrying timbers have contributed in destroying the road network.
Local residents say, the loggers aren’t replanting the trees after cutting them.
While HE. President Bio is in Scotland attending the COP 23 meeting on Climate Change in Glasgow, the rampage timber logging that part of the country continues unabated.
