Today we are going to talk about how where you live in Africa impacts how you live. There are no jobs in the Sahara, because there are no cities so not many people live here. Most of the people from the Sahel migrated to the cities due to desertification and droughts. the only jobs (farming and raising livestock) have pretty much ended due to desertification. In the Savanna most people live in villages along rivers so that they have access to water. Mining and raising livestock are important to this region. Roads are being built to connect the major urban areas in this region. The Tropical Rain Forest provides food for 75 million people. Work is found in agriculture, mining and the timber industry. The roads are poorly maintained so traveling is difficult.
