Movies and television series have painted Africa as a picturesque continent full of wildlife, exotic plants, and a host of indigenous tribes with their own unique traditions and rituals. While this may be true, the continent is no stranger to the worldwide demand to keep up with the times. Therefore, Africa is also no stranger to the fact that there are certain species being pushed to the brink of extinction as an effect of urbanization.

The most notable organization devoted to this purpose is the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN). One of its valuable contributions is the Red List, a detailed record of endangered plants and animals around the world. Species under the Red List are placed under categories which are defined based on actual population and factors affecting a species’ decline, among other statistics.

Picture yourself being in a zoo or any other sort of animal enclosure. If you ask around about the animals you see, there is a big chance that you will be told that most, if not all of them came from Africa.
Movies and television series have us picture Africa as a picturesque continent full of wildlife, exotic plants, and a host of indigenous tribes with their own unique traditions and rituals.

Imagine walking along the African grasslands in the late afternoon. The sun is setting and is coloring the sky with a vivid orange and red. The air is just beginning to cool, supplementing the departure of the sun which will be back the next day.
As the slight breeze waves the grass to and fro, you notice a curious sight in the distance: a good number of dogs, making its way through the bush, chasing a stray gazelle.
