Region | Subrealm

North Africa, where the vast Sahara desert meets rugged mountains and verdant oases, offers a mosaic of landscapes. From the swift-footed fennec fox navigating sandy dunes to the Barbary macaque in cedar forests, this region epitomizes the dance of life in contrasting terrains.

The Sahel is a transition zone between the arid north and the tropical green forest that borders the maritime coast. Image credit: Flickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 DEED, © CIFOR
