African rainforests
Equatorial woodland continent
African rainforests are the tropical forests of central and western Africa, concentrated in the Congo Basin—the world's second-largest rainforest region after the Amazon.
These dense, humid forests receive heavy rainfall year-round and harbor extraordinary biodiversity, including gorillas, forest elephants, and okapis.
The African rainforests are disappearing at an alarming rate.
