🧵 2. The increase in human-wildlife overlap is driven by human population growth, not just climate change, with areas like China and India facing high overlap.
🧵 3. Researchers used an index to assess human-wildlife overlap, finding that agriculture and forests will experience significant increases in overlap in the future.
🧵 4. Major concern areas include forests in Africa and South America, which are biodiversity hotspots and could struggle if inhabited by humans.
🧵 5. Though human-animal overlap may bring conflicts, understanding and preserving biodiversity in these areas could benefit both wildlife and people in the long run.
