Africa’s wildlife depends on its relationship with it’s people
As human populations grow and industry and infrastructure develop, the balance between people and nature is constantly tested. There are currently many initiatives to mitigate the threats facing iconic species and historic wildlife habitats. This is because the need to protect our planet is growing more and more pressing each day. Ivory continues to be a highly sought after commodity.
Anti-poaching initiatives to stop the slaughter of wildlife within Africa’s protected areas have saved some species from further decline. However, to destabilize the international trade that has decimated populations over the last few decades, we need to combat wildlife trafficking and strengthen conservation awareness in local communities through education and engagement.
