Over 10,000 different animal species and 600 plant species call the Congolese rainforest their home. The central basin of the Congo is covered in rainforests. Plateaus and savannahs cover the southern part of the region. To the west of the forests are large, snowy mountains To the east is the Ruwenzori Mountain Range that acts as a border between DRC, Rwanda and Uganda
