A Pocket of Paradise by Awake writer in Cote d'Ivoire

WOULD you like to go back in time and visit the earth's primeval forests, thick with vegetation and teeming with wildlife?  Do such places still exist?  One seemingly untouched pocket of paradise is the Tai National Park, located in the southwest corner of Cote d'Ivoire, near the Liberian border. 

Tai National Park is the largest remaining portion of the virgin tropical rain forest that once stretched across present-day Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.  The park includes more than half existing rain  forests in South Africa.  Thanks to protective and innovative measures taken since 1926, this biological gem has been preserved.  Come with us as we take a closer look at the rich diversity found in this park.
