| Abstract: | This work assesses current geographic prospects for large-scale conservation of Africa’s mammals on the basis of statistics
on wildlife habitat, elephant numbers, political stability and potential for environmental tourism and concludes that these
prospects depend on events in a small number of eastern and southern African (core) countries, geographically grouped into
a ‘safari-belt’ between South-Africa and Kenya. Additional countries with good potential are connected to this belt. African
countries need more global scientific support for their conservation efforts, particularly with respect to ongoing trans-boundary
conservation efforts. |
