Guinea occupies an area of 245,857 square kilometers (94,926 sq mi), which makes it larger than Uganda but smaller than Gabon. A major feature is the Fouta Djallon mountain chain that runs through the interior.
This highland region is the source of the Niger, the Gambia, and Senegal Rivers. According to the FAO, forests cover 26.6% of Guinea. For example, this includes the Dahomey Gap, the Guinean forest-savanna area, and the forested jungle regions in the southeast.
