Quantifying Forest Cover Change at District and Forest Reserve Levels in Southern and Eastern Sierra Leone Using Landsat Data

Alpha Sesay, Victor T. S. Kabba, Lamin R. Mansaray, Patrick Moseray, Aiah R. Lebbie & Richard A. Wadsworth · Journal of Geography, Environment and Earth Science International · 2026

Aim: In Sierra Leone, the paucity of data on forest cover distribution and degradation limits the design and implementation of forest protection measures and the evaluation of the effectiveness of such measures. In view of the above, this study presents the first comparative anal...
