Guinea (französisch La Guinée ) ist ein Staat in Westafrika, der (von Nordwesten aus im Uhrzeigersinn) an Guinea-Bissau, Senegal, Mali, die Elfenbeinküste, Liberia, Sierra Leone und den Atlantik grenzt. Ihre Unabhängigkeit erlangte die ehemalige französische Kolonie am 2. Oktober 1958. Trotz der vorhandenen Bodenschätze lebt der Großteil der Bürger in Armut, diese wurde durch die Diktatur Ahmed Sékou Tourés noch verstärkt. Die Hauptstadt von Guinea ist Conakry. Guinea befindet sich in Westafrika zwischen 7° und 12° nördlicher Breite und 8° und 15° westlicher Länge. Insbesondere der Mittel- und Südostteil des Landes befindet sich auf der Oberguineaschwelle. Ein Teil davon ist das bis 1537 Meter hohe Bergland von Fouta Djallon in der westlichen Mitte des Landes. Der Mont Richard-Molard, der sich im äußersten Südosten des Landes an der Grenze zur Elfenbeinküste befindet, ist mit 1752 Metern der höchste Berg beider Staaten. Das Naturschutzgebiet rund um den Mont Nimba steht seit 1982 auf der Liste des Weltkultur- und Naturerbes der Menschheit der UNESCO.
