Summary[edit]

Description Original description, according to the source, p. 328: "Figure 10.1 Habitat loss and degradation, much of which are driven by agriculture, are the most important threats to Africa’s wildlife, followed by overharvesting, invasive species and disease, and pollution. Groups of species often face similar threats: mammals and birds are more likely to be threatened by habitat loss, while fish and molluscs are more likely to be threatened by pollution. Percentages add up to more than 100% because many species face multiple threats. The influence of climate change is under-estimated because its impact on most species still need to be assessed. Source: IUCN, 2019, CC BY 4.0. ". Context in the source, page 328: "Habitat loss (and its associated degradation) is currently the most important threat facing Africa’s wildlife (Figure 10.1). When an ecosystem is destroyed or degraded, its ability to sustain wildlife is compromised, and the individuals that depend on that ecosystem for survival either need to adapt or move elsewhere, or they will die.".
