In 1992 the Reserve was threatened by two invasions: an iron-ore mining concession in part of the site was proposed by an international consortium, and a large number of refugees from Liberia invaded areas around and within the Park.

The WH Committee expressed its concern, placing the reserve on the List of the World Heritage in Danger. The Guinean government stated that there had been an error in the definition of the boundary at the time of the World Heritage nomination and the area proposed for mining was not part of the reserve. The government accepted the recommendation by an expert mission of a corrected boundary which would ensure the site's integrity. This the World Heritage Committee confirmed. In response to the Committee's concern about the impacts of mining, the refugees and other threats to the site, the Guinean Ministry for Energy and Environment in 1995 established a Management Centre, responsible for environmental and legal questions, for monitoring the water quality of the region, for socio-economic studies and integrated rural development.

I would like to know under what authority the U.N. has to control any land in sovern nations. Here in the United states, it is a clear violation of the constitution for a foreign Government to own or run any land here, but thank to a treasonous treaty ratified by the senate, they control our greatest national parks. whats next, give them the keys to the white house? Get U.S. out of the U.N.
