Congo is located in the central-western part of [[sub-Saharan Africa]], along the [[Equator]], lying between latitudes [[4th parallel north|4°N]] and [[5th parallel south|5°S]], and longitudes [[11th meridian east|11°]] and [[19th meridian east|19°E]]. To the south and east of it is the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]]. It is also bounded by [[Gabon]] to the west, [[Cameroon]] and the [[Central African Republic]] to the north, and [[Cabinda (province)|Cabinda]] ([[Angola]]) to the southwest. It has a short coast on the Atlantic Ocean.
The capital, [[Brazzaville]], is located on the Congo River, in the south of the country, immediately across from [[Kinshasa]], the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The southwest of the country is a coastal plain for which the primary drainage is the [[Kouilou-Niari River]]; the interior of the country consists of a central plateau between two basins to the south and north. Forests are under increasing exploitation pressure.<ref>[http://pdf.wri.org/gfw_congo_atlas_v1_affiche_fr.pdf Map: Situation de l'exploitation forestière en République du Congo]. (PDF) .

Since the country is located on the Equator, the climate is consistent year-round, with the average day temperature a humid {{convert|24|C|F}} and nights generally between {{convert|16|C|F}} and {{convert|21|C|F}}. The average yearly rainfall ranges from {{convert|1100|mm|in}} in the [[Niari Valley]] in the south to over {{convert|2000|mm|in}} in central parts of the country. The dry season is from June to August, while in the majority of the country the wet season has two rainfall maxima: one in March–May and another in September–November.<ref>{{cite journal

In 2006–07, researchers from the [[Wildlife Conservation Society]] studied gorillas in heavily forested regions centered on the [[Ouesso district]] of the [[Sangha Region]]. They suggest a population on the order of 125,000 [[western lowland gorilla]]s, whose isolation from humans has been largely preserved by inhospitable swamps.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93254830 |title = 'Mother Lode' Of Gorillas Found In Congo Forests : NPR |accessdate = 15 August 2008}}</ref>
