The Netherlands is geographically a very low and flat country, with about 26% of its area and 21% of its population located below sea level, and only about 50% of its land exceeding one metre above sea level. The Netherlands has 20 national parks and hundreds of other nature reserves that include lakes, heathland, woods, dunes and other habitats.

Although the Guinean and Ivorian sides of the Nimba Massif, a protected area, are a UNESCO Strict Nature Reserve, the portion of the so-called Guinean Backbone continues into Liberia, where it has been mined for decades.
