Cameroon Highlands

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cameroon Highlands are a group of mountain ranges of west-central Africa. The Cameroon Highlands extend along the border region of eastern Nigeria and western Cameroon, from Mount Cameroon on the Gulf of Guinea north and east towards Lake Chad. The higlands contain many volcanoes, active and extinct, part of the Cameroon Volcanic Line which extends southwest into the Gulf of Guinea to include the islands of Bioko, Sao Tome, Principe, and Annobon.

The Cameroon Highlands are home to the Cameroon Highlands forests, a montane forest enclave of afromontane flora surrounded at lower elevations by the Lower Guinean forests near the coast, forest-savanna mosaic further inland, and Sudanian Savanna in the north.
