Angola
Angola, is found on the southwest coast of Africa. Angola has lost most of
its large pieces of tropical rainforests because of “political instability
and the resulting poverty.” Overseas there is a demand for rainforests
to be cut down for use as wood or fuel. The rainforest has caused soil erosion.
Liberia
Liberia is located on the west coast of Africa. It has lost most of its large
rainforests because of harvesting and clearing for agriculture
