Protected and Yet Pressured : Persistence of Southern African Pythons (Python natalensis) in South Africa Despite Changing Land Use and Other Anthropogenic Threats- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-04-15T13:41:00Z

ABSTRACT Around the globe, changing landscapes and habitat transformation are major factors affecting wildlife. In recent years, South Africa has experienced significant population growth and migration, leading to the transformation and expansion of both rural and urban areas, with the loss of natural areas.

Environmental and Anthropogenic Drivers of Giraffe Occurrence and Relative Abundance in a Mixed‐Use Savannah- African Journal of Ecology

African Journal of Ecology — 2026-04-10T12:26:29Z

ABSTRACT This study examines how reticulated giraffe (Giraffa reticulata) respond to the combined effects of climate variability and human land use in a fragmented savannah system. The research was conducted in Loisaba Conservancy, Kenya, a multi-use rangeland where wildlife coexists with pastoral livestock under increasingly variable climatic conditions. Using 6 years of camera-trap data (2016–2021), we assessed how environmental factors, human activity and vegetation dynamics influence (…) @Izuba - Ecology / Mediarezo
