WHISPERS OF THE CONGO - DAY 7
At first, I wanted to take you my dear Readership into the Sambisa Forest, Nigeria. However, with recent records of insecurity therein, I do not think it's a nice place to take you to.
Therefore, I have changed location to the Congo Rainforest also known as the Congo Basin.
The Congo Forest, also known as the Congo Basin, is the second-largest tropical rainforest in the world and It is located in central Africa, spanning across six countries:
- Democratic Republic of Congo (-largest portion)
- Republic of Congo
- Cameroon
- Equatorial Guinea
- Gabon
- Central African Republic
The Congo Forest is home to a vast array of biodiversity, including thousands of species of plants, animals, and indigenous communities. It plays a critical role in regulating the global climate, supporting regional economic development, and maintaining ecosystem services.
Also, this is a poem that typically describes the magnificence of the Congo Basin -
In the heart of Africa, a verdant giant stirs,
The Congo Forest, a realm of ancient whispers.
A sea of green, where sunlight filtering plays,
Dances with shadows, in an eternal sway.
Treetops stretch towards the sky, a canopy grand,
A haven for birds, where songs echo across the land.
The rustle of leaves, a gentle melody,
As the forest awakens, wild and carefree.
In this cradle of life, where rivers wild and wide,
Flow through the landscape, side by side.
The Congo's pulse beats strong, a rhythm so bold,
A symphony of life, where stories unfold.
Vines and creepers weave, a tapestry so fine,
A testament to nature's artistry divine.
The scent of blooming flowers, a sweet perfume,
Fills the air with magic, an enchanting boom.
In the Congo's depths, secrets slumber, yet unknown,
A world of wonder, where myth and mystery are sown.
A place where spirits roam, where legends come alive,
In the Congo Forest, where the heart of Africa thrives.
