A unique study shows that sub-Saharan Africa has lost nearly a quarter of its biodiversity since pre-industrial times, and that large mammal populations have decreased by more than 75%. Crucially, 80% of the remaining wild plants and animals live outside formally protected lands, which, according to the study, means we fundamentally have to shift where and how we think about biodiversity conservation in Africa.
