Summary[edit]

Description Original description, according to the source, p. 268: "Figure 8.5 The locations of Sub-Saharan Africa’s wildlife extinctions (including Extinct and Extinct in the Wild species) since 1500. Note how the largest number of extinctions involve species with restricted distributions, particularly those that occurred on islands. The scimitar-horned oryx is an example of mainland species that went extinct despite its large original range. Source: IUCN, 2019. Map by Johnny Wilson, CC BY 4.0. ". Context in the source, page 268: "Following the demise of many of the Cape Floristic Province’s large animals, humans have driven African species to extinction at an increasing pace. Today, at least 84 Sub-Saharan African species have been confirmed Extinct (Figure 8.5), nine species are Extinct in the Wild, and as many as 202 species are considered possibly Extinct (IUCN, 2019).".
