It was designated a national park in 2004, but most of the natural forest in and around Tesso Nilo has now been cleared and replaced with plantations to feed the pulp and palm oil sectors. By 2013, just a quarter of the area of the Tesso Nilo forest complex remained forested.Related Collections:A Threat to Tesso Nilo National ParkMedia Collection - Licence to Kill Report (Photos & Video)
