The project managers of greenlimba on site in Sierra Leone are Saidu Sesay (left) and Anthony Jacob Turay. The two perfectly combine local knowledge of both man and nature, pedagogical talent, expertise and, above all, they have long dreamed of a return of their rainforest.
A dozen employees are currently working in West Africa to raise the young trees and transplant them, as well as to protect any remaining rainforest enclaves.
The employees of the Ministry of Forestry in Kamakwie are also very interested in the new greenlimba rainforest. Same for the District Council as a political regional government, they make every endeavor tosupport the work of the German company.
