Congo Basin

The Congo Basin is a vast rainforest region in central Africa, covering parts of several countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon. It is home to the Congo River, one of the world's largest rivers. This area is known for its rich biodiversity, housing thousands of plant and animal species, some of which are found nowhere else. The basin plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth’s climate and is vital for the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on its resources. It faces challenges such as deforestation and climate change.
