With its lush forests, abundant waterfalls and flamboyant birds, Guinea is the type of tropical paradise that draws tourists. But the West African country has few visitors and earns almost all its foreign revenue from mining, which can damage that environment. Now some are working to change that.

Guinean tour guide Mohammed Camara balances precariously on a slippery rock as water gushes around him and the three foreigners he's leading on a hike. Below, the water slices through the cliff making way for a spectacular view of the forest.

"When people talk about mines, everyone talks about Guinea. But when people talk about tourism we don't talk about Guinea," Camara said."And yet there is great potential for tourism in this country that could employ more people than mines and bring in much more money."
