North Africa is home to the Sahara, the world's largest hot desert, and the Nile Delta, the outflow of the world's longest river. North Africa also has access to thousands of miles of coastline and many favorable trade routes. There is a long history of trade across the subregion, with various ethnic groups moving in and out of North Africa. Today the culture of North Africa has developed as an eclectic mix of the indigenous Berbers and those of their trading partners throughout Europe and Asia.
The Transition Zone is a challenging land because of transitions in both the human and physical geography. It is a mix of Muslim, Christian, and animist cultures. It is also a transition from the Sahara to the Tropics. Climate and geography, as well as the legacy of colonialism, have led to turmoil in the subregion.
In recent decades, the Transition Zone has experienced extended periods of drought. Overpopulation has contributed to the problem. People are trying to find new ways to cope with or to reverse the damage to the land and face the environmental challenge.
East Africa is a land of magnificent landscapes, from the volcanic peak of Kilimanjaro to the lakes of the Great Rift Valley. It is also, however, a land of desert and drought.
East Africa has attracted many countries over the centuries. Its prime location on the Red Sea and Indian Ocean drew the interest of people looking for trade outposts and entrances into the continent. Outsiders colonized almost all the land. Today, East Africa is working toward improving its economies, environments, and standards of living in the face of challenges, such as population growth, corruption, and environmental degradation.
West Africa is a rich #### #### many natural resources and a diverse cultural heritage. Thousands of years of history have influenced the many cultures throughout the subregion and continue to do so today.
West Africa, however, faces many challenges. Increasing populations, drought, deforestation, reduction in the quality of farmland, and diminishing water resources place burdens on the land and the people.
West African countries have made strides in addressing these issues but problems persist. With the help of individuals and national and international organizations, progress is being made.
Equatorial Africa lies in the heart of Africa. Great expanses of rain forest teem with wildlife. Through the forest flows the mighty Congo River—one of the longest in the world—and its many tributaries. These waterways form a vast transportation network that the people of Equatorial Africa have used for centuries.
Along these streams are many villages. Most of the people of these villages make their living as farmers. Others work in the region's many mines, extracting gold, diamonds, and other minerals. Still others live and work in huge port cities, where the rivers of the heart of Africa flow into the Atlantic Ocean.
Southern Africa is a difficult land to categorize. Most of it is part of a continent, but it also consists of a large island and several small islands. The continental part is surrounded on three sides by ocean, but most of its landforms are plateaus and highlands.
The people of Southern Africa have a history that goes back tens of thousands of years. Yet their culture has been heavily influenced by Europeans who arrived just a few centuries ago. Some Southern Africans live in densely packed cities; others live in the desert much the same way as their ancestors did. Christianity is widespread, but many traditional religions are still practiced as well.
