Land and Resources
Along the Atlantic coast is a low, treeless plain, which
rises inland to the Mayumbe Mountains, an almost completely forested region
with an average elevation of about 550 m (about 1800 ft). In the south
central region is the fertile valley of the Niari River. To the north lies
the central highlands region, the Batéké Plateau. The plateau is cut by
numerous tributaries of the Zaire (Congo) and Ubangi rivers. The Congo Basin
occupies the northeastern part of the country. Dense tropical rain forests
cover approximately half of the country and constitute a major natural
resource. The principal commercial species are okoumé (a mahogany) and limba
(a hardwood). Savanna vegetation is found in the northeast and the higher
plateau areas. Wildlife is diverse and abundant, including antelope,
giraffes, cheetahs, crocodiles, and numerous birds and snakes.
The climate is tropical, with mostly high heat and humidity.
While the Mayumbe Mountains experience a long dry season, parts of the Congo
Basin receive more than 2500 mm (more than 100 in) of rainfall annually.
Average temperatures in Brazzaville are 26° C (78° F) in January and 23° C
(73° F) in July, with an annual rainfall of about 1500 mm (about 60 in).
Temperatures along the coast are slightly cooler.
