Côte d’Ivoire

This country is the largest supplier of cocoa beans worldwide. It also has a coastline rich in tropical fish, coral reefs, sharks, and sea-bed creatures including the loggerhead turtle, which is found nesting and foraging on the shores. To protect these creatures, the country has taken the lead in declaring its first protected marine area. This is a move rarely seen in African nations and may help to set the standard in the region.
