Join the Thursday, June 11, 2026, Edition of Forest Hour with Matthias F. Larbeindee & Joy Mardea Moore on OK FM 99.5/www.okfm.com.lr
As the Liberian Senate’s Joint Committee on Land and Mines, Hydrocarbon, Energy and Environment intensifies its scrutiny of illicit mining activities across the country, The Forest Hour turns the spotlight on one of Liberia’s most pressing natural resource governance challenges. Recent legislative concerns highlight the growing environmental degradation, destruction of farmlands and waterways, and threats to sustainable resource management caused by illegal and illicit mining operations.
Drawing from years of investigative reporting by the Liberia Forest Media Watch, this edition will examine the links between illicit mining, environmental protection, community livelihoods, and government accountability.
Join us as we explore what the Senate hearing means for Liberia’s forests, rivers, mining communities, and the future of responsible natural resource governance.
