French term or phrase: bassin écuatorial
This is taken from a report on climate change in Africa and the Congo in particular.

"la fôret tropicale, avec l'un des trois plus grands bassins équatoriaux de la planète, la zone du Congo, est partout en régression".

I have seen "Ecuatorial basin" in my research, but it doesn't sound very natural.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.
