Is There a Rainforest in Mali?

No. Mali is a landlocked West African nation dominated by Sahelian and Saharan climates. Its vegetation zones:

• Saharan Desert (North): Extreme aridity, dunes, rock plateaus (<100 mm rain).
• Sahel (Central): Semi-arid grassland/savanna (200–600 mm); acacia, baobab, seasonal grasses.
• Sudanian Savanna (South): Wooded savanna (600–1,200 mm); gallery forests along rivers (Niger, Bani, Senegal).

True tropical rainforest (evergreen, multi-story, >2,000 mm rain, no dry season) does not occur in Mali. The southernmost gallery forests are riparian, not zonal rainforest. Neighboring Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Ghana, and Nigeria have rainforest blocks.
