I would like to request a location stamp for the West African country of Liberia, officially known as Republic of Liberia. Around 5 million people live in Liberia and though English is the official language, over 20 indigenous languages are spoken.
Liberia is the oldest African repubic and was the first African republic to proclaim its independence. Liberia was also a founding member of the United Nations, the League of Nations and the Organization of African Unity.

Liberia has only one national park, Sapo National Park, which is named after the local Sapo tribe. It is of great importance because it maintains a vital role in preserving the ecological biodiversity, of not just Liberia, but for all of West Africa. The park consists of 1804 km (697 sq mi) of immense forest, which is an important part of the Upper Guinea Forest Ecosystem (a tropical seasonal forest region of West Africa).

The forest found in Sapo National Park is one of Liberia's last remaining areas of tropical lowland rain forest. It is also the 2nd largest area of primary tropical rainforest in West Africa and one of the least disturbed. The Park has trees that can grow as high as 70 m (230 ft) and the forest canopy's height ranges from 12- 32 m (39- 105 ft), with an average of 25 m (82 ft) high. Sapo also has one of the richest amounts of floral species in Liberia and hosts many endemic species.

At one point, Sapo National Park hosted around 125 threatened species (such as the Liberian mongoose)! The Park also has rare populations of pygmy hippopotamus, an endangered species with legal protection in Liberia. The pygmy hippopotamus is very unique to West Africa and it is believed that less than 3000 remain. Sapo National Park serves as their primary area of conservation.
I think that Sapo National Park would be a good location stamp for Liberia because it is something symbolic for every Liberian.
