Tropical forests of southwestern Central African Republic: Homeland of the Aka

The Aka tend to live in dense rainforests in the Congo and in the Central African Republic.  They live in a tropical climate and the dense, humid forest in this region is heterogeneous in composition. 
The area is covered by solid ground semideciduous forest, but has areas with solid ground evergreen forests, swamp or marsh forests in the riverine valleys, and open savannah.  Secondary forest also exists in regions recently abandoned by slash and burn agriculturalists.  Game and wild species vary across these various forest types and Aka hunt a number of species in each environment, but will tend to hunt whatever they can find.  The Aka are hunter gathers so the primary role men play are to hunt and gather food for the rest of the tribe, they spend the majority of their time doing this.  
The northern part of the region the Aka inhabit has a tropical climate with two seasons, and the southern part a subequatorial climate with four seasons.  Average rainfall throughout is approximately 1700mm (1407-2381 mm), and the mean annual temperature is 24.5 degrees centigrade .
