The Atlantic Equatorial coastal forests, also known as the Congolian coastal forests (French: Forêts côtières équatoriales atlantiques, Spanish: Bosques costeros atlánticos ecuatoriales, Portuguese: Florestas costeiras atlânticas equatoriais), are a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion of Central Africa, covering hills, plains, and mountains of the Atlantic coast of Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Republic of the Congo, Angola, and Democratic Republic of the Congo.[2][3][4]
This is rich forest home to large mammals such as western gorillas, chimpanzees, forest elephants and African buffalo, as well as many small mammals, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and invertebrates. Other primates include black colobus monkeys and mandrills.
