Concerned about illegal logging and pollution in Banco National Park in Ivory Coast's commercial capital Abidjan, authorities are erecting a concrete perimeter wall that they hope will preserve its distinctive ecosystem.
Banco spans more than 34 square km of western Abidjan, making it the second biggest urban park in the world, behind only Rio de Janeiro's Tijuca National Park.
Parks officials hope to put an end to that. On a recent day, dozens of construction workers stacked concrete bricks two-and-a-half metres high along a muddy patch of land between the highway and the park. Tondossama said he hoped the efforts to protect Banco would help it win a place on U.N. agency UNESCO's list of world heritage sites.
