Africa has an incalculable wealth in biodiversity. Its living organisms constitute about a quarter of the overall global picture and the continent contains the widest intact congregations of large mammals, which roam freely in several countries. African biomes range from mangroves to deserts, from Mediterranean to tropical forests, from temperate to subtropical and mountain savannah, and even to ice-covered peaks.

Angola also has a remarkable profusion and variety with regard to plant and animal life, as well as a striking beauty of its plains and plateaus, and its forests and woods. Large country on the southwest coast of Africa, it is a place of a remarkably magnificent physiographic, climatic and biological variety, with a rich diversity of landscapes, seascapes and associated biomes and ecoregions, and possessing a pronounced diversity of biomes and ecoregions within its borders.
