Environment
Togo's coastline measures only 56km, but the country stretches inland for over 600km.
The coast is tropical; further inland are rolling hills covered with forest, yielding to savan-
nah plains in the north.
Wildlife is disappointing because larger mammals have largely been killed or scared
off. The country's remaining mammals (monkeys, buffaloes and antelopes) are limited to
the north; crocodiles and hippos are found in some rivers.
The coastline faces serious erosion and pollution problems.
