Cote d Ivoire
The Ivory Coast, or Cote d’Ivoire, was once dominated by large areas of rainforest. Overexploitation caused these forests to shrink from thirty-seven million acres in 1960 to less than eight million acres in 1987. Most of what remains is in small, fragmented parcels. Today, only 2 percent of the country's large stable rainforest remains, all of which is threatened by continued logging and population pressures. [more]
