Africa’s national parks, home to thousands of wildlife species such as lions, elephants and buffaloes, are increasingly threatened by below-average rainfall and new infrastructure projects.
The growth of urban populations and the building that goes with it, such as new roads, electricity grids, gas pipes, ports and railways, have also added to the pressure on parks, conservationists said.“We have to have a future where wildlife is not separated from people,” said Sam Shaba, the program manager at the Honeyguide Foundation in Tanzania, an environmental nonprofit organization.
“The inhabitants of these areas are forcefully evicted or prevented from living there such as the Maasai [in Tanzania and Kenya], Twa and Mbutis [in central Africa] who for generations have lived with wildlife,” said Simon Counseill, an advisor with Survival International. The effects of worsening weather conditions in national parks because of climate change should also not be ignored, experts said.
