Central Africa mainly comprises nations such as the Central African Republic, Chad, Cameroon, the Republic of Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The region encompasses approximately 5.36 million square kilometers and is home to a diverse population that showcases various ethnic groups and cultures. Its natural environment is remarkably rich and varied. The northern portion is primarily composed of dry tropical savanna, characterized by hot temperatures and minimal rainfall. This area serves as a refuge for large herbivores like zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests, while also being a hunting ground for apex predators such as lions and cheetahs. Moving southward, the landscape gradually shifts into lush tropical rainforests. Central Africa plays a crucial role on the global stage concerning mineral and forest resources, holding substantial reserves of gold, diamonds, timber, and other natural treasures.
