Please answer the questions below and choose from the document below which species you would like to protect
What have you learnt about Endangered Species in Africa? What surprised you about the species, types of species?
Identify at least 5 “patterns” in the TYPES OF THREATS faced by different types of species (e.g. based on distribution, range size, habitats/ biome)? Can you make hypotheses about the main drivers of species loss in Africa from these patterns? These 5 patterns should be specific: Are the threats different for primates, large carnivores, birds, amphibians, and reptiles? Are the threats different for species in dry/ arid areas than species in humid areas? Mountains vs flat areas? For species with small ranges vs large ranges?
If you had a million dollars to use for conservation, which of the 30 species you learnt about would you decide to fund conservation efforts for?
