NAIROBI, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- The population of Africa's iconic wildlife species, including mammals, reptiles, fish, amphibians, and birds, had declined 76 percent in the past 50 years, a wildlife conservation group said in a report released Friday in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
The World Wide Fund for Nature Kenya (WWF-Kenya), in its 2024 Living Planet Report, cited habitat loss and degradation, overexploitation, climate change, pollution, invasive species, and diseases as leading causes of wildlife population decline on the continent between 1970 and 2020.
