Angolan savannas

Angola's Scarp Savannah, one of the things to know about Angola, is the name given to its savannas. It is a mountain prairie ecoregion that stretches from the Atlantic coast of the United States to the Pacific Ocean. The landscape of this ecoregion is quite diverse. There is a forest of tall trees surrounded by tall grasses to the north of the Cuanza River, with areas covered in mangroves and swamps along the river's banks.

Cloud forests can be found at higher altitudes on the western side of the Great Escarpment, and they are home to a diverse range of endemic plants and animals. Finally, there are dry scrubs and wooded savannahs along the coastal strip and the lower slopes of the Great Escarpment south of Cuanza. Many animals, including large mammals, live in the area. Although it is protected, the low level of protection leads to uncontrolled hunting and a reduction in the number of species.
