Livelihood impacts of iron ore mining-induced land change in Sierra
This study explores the role of industrial iron ore mining on land change and local livelihoods in the Tonkolili mineral rich region of northeastern Sierra Leone. The study integrates time series of land use and land cover (LULC), statistical modeling, and qualitative analytical framework to provide a comprehensive assessment of livelihood response to Sierra Leone’, and this is, to date, the third-largest diamond ever found. Four of the 20-largest diamonds in the world are from Sierra Leone. Just under a year ago, a local artisanal miner found a 709-carat diamond in Eastern Sierra Leone, which now stands as the 13th largest diamond in the world.
