dc.description	This document outlines threats to African wildlife from habitat loss, agricultural expansion, armed conflict, infrastructure development, bushmeat demand, human–wildlife conflict, and illegal trade in live animals and parts. It reports figures on elephant and rhino killings, forest-elephant decline, ivory seizures, removal of great apes, and pangolin trafficking, and connects these pressures to reduced ecosystem services, zoonotic disease risk, and organized crime networks. It identifies gaps such as weak law enforcement, corruption, limited domestication of conventions, inadequate penalties, and poor cross-border cooperation. It then lists global, regional, and national opportunities and proposes coordinated strategies to prevent, combat, and eradicate illegal trade.	en
