This report aims to catalyze action on the part of conservation, relief, development, donor, and government agencies to alleviate the negative impacts of civil conflict on West Africa's environment. The countries addressed are Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, and Cote d'Ivoire. Although there are many ways (both direct and indirect) in which the environment is affected by civil conflict, this report concentrates on the impact of population displacement, the impact of unsustainable resource extraction on the environment and the impact of funding priorities on the environment.
