The wild mango tree species of Western Africa is pollinated by a vast array of butterflies & its protein-rich seeds are dispersed by vertebrates. Yet, as humans impede natural pollination, seed dispersal, etc., by decreasing numbers of insects & animals, the trees depend on synthetic reproduction...

Gashaka-Gumti National Park (est. 1991) in Nigeria protects an extremely-rich biome of flora and fauna. Millions of years of tectonic uplift gave rise to fertile highlands sustaining thousands of species. It is threatened by illegal mining, poaching & habitat encroachment from farming.

Forest elephants of Africa have to continually-contend with fragmentation via human activities: this impedes the species' ability to move safely through areas, seek out food and water resources and sustain species interaction...

African mahogany tree in Senegal: driven by decades of over-exploitation for global timber markets and severe habitat loss, wild populations across Western Africa and Central Africa continue to face population declines...

Kainji National Park (est. 1978) in Nigeria protects a rich aquatic biodiversity, supporting over 82 fish species. Also, there are hippos, Nile crocodiles & West African slender-snouted crocodiles along the riverbanks...

The Red-eared Firetail a small, secretive finch endemic to southwestern Australia, inhabiting dense undergrowth near rivers, swamps, wetlands, and the eucalyptus and oak forests. They feed primarily on the seeds of native grasses and sedges, along with occasional small insects and spider.

The Erg of Bilma is a dune sea in The Ténéré Desert region of the south central Sahara Desert. The dunes took on their modern, highly mobile form during successive arid phases following the end of The African Humid Period c. 5,000 years ago.

The dark round domes of The Aïr Mountains rise out of The Sahara Desert; a chain of islands in a sea of sand. Via volcanic and granite intrusions forming during The Cambrian Period (541 to 485 million years ago), ring formations of collapsed magma chambers emerged.
