Tanzania
Tanzania is located at 6 00 S, 35 00 E in Eastern Africa bordering the Indian Ocean, between Kenya and Mozambique. (CIA World Fact Book) It is home to the largest volcanic mountain in Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania's northeastern boarder. (Microsoft Encarta Virtual Globe) Approximately 38 percent of Tanzania is forested.

Also, the extension of agricultural land in some regions is threatening many areas with desertification. (Serengeti Home) Another interesting problem with the land is the use of dynamite while fishing. Fishers throw in a couple sticks of this powerful explosive and completely destroy the marine environment. Some say that is the cause for the severe flooding on the central plateau, because the marinal environment has been demolished. Tanzania has a warm, almost tropical climate with temperatures averaging around 81 degreases Fahrenheit. (Serengeti Home) Throughout this vast country, rainfall varies due to different geographical locations
