Savanna regions of West Africa

The savanna regions of West Africa are expansive grasslands dotted with trees, lying between dense forests and desert areas. These areas feature a warm climate with distinct wet and dry seasons, supporting grasses, shrubs, and scattered trees like acacias. The savanna is important for agriculture, grazing, and wildlife, providing livelihoods for local communities. It experiences seasonal fires that help maintain the balance of plant life. These regions are crucial for biodiversity, serving as habitats for many animals such as elephants, lions, and various birds, and they play a key role in the ecological and cultural landscape of West Africa.
