Central African rainforest

The Central African rainforest is a dense, lush forest covering countries like the Republic of Congo, Cameroon, and the Central African Republic. It’s part of the Congo Basin, one of the world’s largest tropical rainforests. This ecosystem is rich in biodiversity, home to many species of plants, animals, and insects. It plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate by absorbing carbon dioxide. The forest also provides resources like timber and medicinal plants for local communities. Due to logging and climate change, the rainforest faces threats that impact both local and global environmental health.
