Quiz: How Much Do You Know About Gabon?

Libreville, the capital, faces the Atlantic and holds over one-third of the population. French is the official language, and Gabon gained independence from France in 1960. The country has 13 national parks, which protect rare animals like forest elephants and lowland gorillas. Oil makes up about 80% of exports, yet ecotourism is rising fast. With high literacy rates and urban growth, Gabon blends nature and progress. Think you know this hidden gem?
