Hello Professors!!! Could someone please help me find ten peer-reviewed sources on eco-tourism in Sierra Leone or Ecotourism in West Africa in general? But precisely, sources about Sierra Leone?

If you can, please fill out this rubric after finding the information. If you can't, the sources will be very very helpful! I was able to find three, but still, please find 10. The three I found aren't as credible.

Here is the rubric: Annotated Bibliography (50 Points Total)1. Dos Santos, D. (2020). Ecotourism in Developing Countries: A Critical Analysis of the Promise, the Reality, and the Future. Journal of Ecotourism.

• Annotation: This source thoroughly analyzes the development, impacts, and future of ecotourism in developing nations. Dos Santos's critical viewpoint highlights both the positive and negative outcomes of ecotourism initiatives. This work will be integral in examining the existing and potential impacts of community-based ecotourism in Sierra Leone.

2. Kamara, S. (2019). Sierra Leone: A Jewel in Ecotourism. Sierra Leone Times.

• Annotation: Kamara discusses the untapped potential of Sierra Leone's diverse ecosystems and cultural richness. This local perspective is essential in evaluating the current state of ecotourism and its alignment with community needs and expectations.

3. Smith, L. (2021). Empowering Communities through Ecotourism: A Global Perspective. Travel and Tourism Research Association.

• Annotation: This study focuses on the empowerment of local communities through ecotourism worldwide, offering insights into best practices and challenges. Smith's global perspective will be contrasted with the specific context of Sierra Leone.
