Angola's rainforests, located in the north of the country, are
most threatened by subsistence agriculture which provides food
for almost 90 percent of the population. Overgrazing and cutting
forest for fuelwood are also significant causes of forest
clearing and degradation. ||Angola Forest Figures Total forest
