Afromontane Forest

Afromontane Forest is a type of lush, mountainous woodland found in Africa's high-altitude regions, typically between 1,000 and 3,000 meters above sea level. These forests thrive in cooler, moist environments on mountain slopes, featuring diverse plant and animal species that are adapted to these conditions. They include a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees, often with rich understories. Afromontane Forests play a vital role in water catchment, biodiversity conservation, and climate regulation. They are vital ecosystems that support many unique species and provide important resources for local communities.
