Zimbabwe is located in Southern Africa and is a landlocked country. It has an area of 390,757 and is 60th in size of all countries and it has a population of 12,970,000 which is ranked 72nd. With a per capita income of $589, Zimbabwe is one of the two poorest countries in the world. Men have a life expectancy of 37 years and women only 34 years which is the lowest in the world. Income is mostly from harvesting trees such as teak and mahogany. The over harvesting of the trees is causing many concerns. Mining is also a way of life for gold, platinum and diamond. Tourism was a main source of income but that has been declining lately and the unrest in the area is not getting any better.
