Sapo National Park (SNP) is located in the south-east of Liberia, situated in Sinoe, River Gee, and Grand Gedeh Counties. The Park, Liberia’s largest and oldest protected area, was established in 1983. It covers an area of 1,804 km2 (697 sq. mi). The Park and surrounding forested landscape contain extremely diverse ecological communities, distinctive fauna and flora, and a mosaic of forest types. SNP is also a ‘regional centre of endemism’, that provides refuge, and serves as the last stronghold for a number of rare and endemic species. The Park is managed by the Forestry Development Authority (FDA) of Liberia.
