What is the rainforest in Central Africa?

The rainforest in Central Africa is called the Congo Rainforest or the Congo Basin Rainforest. It is the 2nd largest rainforest globally, covering areas in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Rwanda, Burundi, and parts of Angola, Zambia, and Tanzania. It encompasses around 1.8 million square kilometers of mostly dense lowland forest that hosts exceptionally high levels of biodiversity. The Congo Rainforest serves as vital carbon sink and plays a significant role in regional and global climate regulation. However, logging activities and agriculture practices pose threats to its long-term conservation.
