The sahel is in between the Sahara desert and the greenery around the rain forest. The average temperature is roughly 64 degrees Fahrenheit, which is quite cool compared to the desert near it. It is a dusty are with not to many trees, and is not extremely large compared to the other areas of Africa.
The climate is not especially hot, averaging about 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, the sahel is not a desert, and gets a fair amount of rainfall each year getting 884 milometers, which is more than California.
Sahel has had droughts recently, and they are suffering a desertification because of over farming. The great soil over in the Sahel was what drew so many farmers to farm the lands in the Sahel.
In the Sahel, there are mostly grazing animals that graze the plains across the Sahel in Africa. Some of these are Scimitar -horned onyx, and the Dama gazelle. There are also many other types of gazelle and many types of buffalo roaming the wide flat lands.

Natural Resources
There are tons of trees in the rain forest, and lots of rain to provide for those. The trunks are stable and the trees grow amazingly tall. There are also lots of rivers.
Geography
The Rain Forest is mostly flat, though the trees and plants and fallen trunks are everywhere covering the bottom of the forest which is rich soil.
