The dry lagoons of Gabon lead to some of the last healthy oceans in West Africa – full of hippos, sharks, and humpback whales. Twelve years ago, the country became a conservation pioneer in Africa when its president, Omar Bongo Ondimba, created 13 National Parks protecting 11% of the country. Gabon's 885-kilometre coastline is now shielded from offshore oil drilling platforms by new marine protection areas.
