Now you must be wondering what are cloud
forests? A cloud forest is also called a fog for-
2 est and is characterized by a persistent cloud
Like cover usually at the canopy level. It is a low-
land rain forest with 15-17 percent of the

worlds plant species and 20 percent of bird
species. It is ranked at the fourth position in
6
avian diversity with its magni cent number of
about 1500 species of birds. Its survival is in
question because of the increasing deforesta-
tion rates and it is said that these forests will
completely vanish within the next 30 years.

forests- one of the longest rivers in the world and both
in-the- of these were the subject of Joseph Conrads
world%2F) famous book The Heart of Darkness. Almost
70 percent of the plant cover in the African
subcontinent is represented by the Congo. It
is covering a vast area of Central Africa
through Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea,
Gabon, the Central African Republic, the De-
mocratic Republic of Congo and the Republic
of Congo. It is becoming an increasingly frag-
ile ecosystem day by day because of the de-
forestation, commercial logging, and clearing
off forests for agricultural purposes. Hunting
and poaching of the animals for their meat
called bush meat has rendered many species
endangered. A widespread population and in-
creasing poverty has only helped in the ex-
pansion of the bush meat trade. The Congo
rain forest is the only known habitat of the
pygmy chimpanzee. Other animals living in
the Congo Basin are the hippopotamus, okapi,
gorillas, African elephants, etc. Most popula-
tion of the Democratic Republic of Congo de-
pend on this forest for its needs of food, medi-
cine and shelter.
