Congo Rainforest

The Congo Rainforest, located in Central Africa, is one of the world's largest tropical rainforests, covering parts of several countries, including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon. It's a biodiversity hotspot, home to thousands of plant and animal species, many of which are unique to the region. The rainforest plays a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Additionally, it supports the livelihoods of local communities and is a vital source of medicinal plants. However, it faces significant threats from logging, mining, and agriculture.
