WESTERN AFRICA

West Africa, or Western Africa, is one of the fastest growing regions on the African continent. Because of its strategic location at the trade crossroads of Arab North Africa and the gold and ivory rich areas in the South, West Africa was originally home to powerful kingdoms like the Mali and Gao Empires. Unfortunately, this region became most known for the Atlantic slave trade and European colonial rule that exploited the area for its natural resources. Its climate is influenced by the Sahara desert to the north and east and seasonal monsoons from the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south. Its tropical forests and the semi-arid landscape of the Sahel create a rich ecology and biodiversity that Western African nations have been using for economic development since their independence.
