IMAGERY
Ivory Coast Satellite Map
Ivory Coast is situated just above the equator between 4° and 11°N latitudes. Because the terrain is mostly flat, agriculture is the foundation of their economy. Cropland and pastures cover about 65% of the Ivory Coast.
Although deforestation is an environmental issue, forests are the next main land use. According to the FAO, forests cover 33% of the Ivory Coast. The climate is mostly tropical savanna climate with a mix of wet and dry conditions. While Lake Kossou is its largest lake, the Bandama River is the longest and commercially most important.
