RAINFORESTS IN AFRICA
Most of Africa's remaining rainforests are found in the Congo river basin on the Atlantic Ocean side of the continent.
The Congo rainforest is famous for its gorillas, chimpanzees, and elephants as well as its native population of forest dwellers known as pygmies.
Unfortunately rainforests in the Congo are disappearing faster than forests anywhere else in the world due to logging and problems resulting from civil wars in the area, Wildlife in the Congo is endangered from hunting.
The Mongabay Kids site (kids.mongabay.com) aims to help children learn about rainforests and the environment. This site is still under development and I am working to add additional content as time permits. If you have comments or are interested in submitting educational content for the site, please feel free to contact me.
The site is available in many different languages, including Portuguese, Chinese, French, Spanish, Japanese, and German.
