  nature reserve --  Encyclopædia Britannica
A nature reserve differs from a national park (q.v.) in that the latter protects land and wildlife for public enjoyment, whereas a nature reserve protects animals for their own sake.
The reserve was established (1930) mainly to protect the natural habitat of the reindeer.
As the southern gateway to a large nature reserve known as “The Bohemian Paradise,” Jicín is a center for recreation and farming.

 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Guinean montane forests (AT0114)
Mining on Mount Nimba, slash-and-burn farming, and man-made fires were the major threats prior to a decade of civil conflicts in Sierra Leone and Liberia.
Other notable mountains in this ecoregion are Mount Nimba (elevation of 1752 m) (Curry-Lindahl 1966), the Simandou Massif in Guinea (elevation of 1650 m), the Ziama Massif (1387 m) in Guinea, Mount Dutova in Liberia, and the Man Massif and Mont Peko in Côte d’Ivoire.
