African rainforest
Equatorial verdant wilderness
African rainforest refers to the tropical rainforests of equatorial Africa, concentrated in the Congo Basin—the world's second-largest rainforest after the Amazon.
These dense, humid forests support extraordinary biodiversity, including gorillas, forest elephants, and okapi.
The African rainforest is disappearing at an alarming rate due to logging and agriculture.
