With the human population of the African continent projected to double in the next few decades, we can expect that the already dwindling populations of other species to be pushed closer to extinction as a result. The well known victims will include the African elephant, rhinoceros, lion, cheetah, and leopard, along with numerous lesser known species and sub-species. It is appalling and reprehensible that we are allowing this to occur in our lifetime seemingly without regard to the ancient bloodlines these fellow inhabitants of our planet embody. Their ancestry is longer than ours in many cases and most will abruptly cease to exist because of our exclusive dominance over the resources of the earth.

A doubling in the African population will certainly lead to lots and lots of problems for many species, like the ones you mention. I guess we really need to make some good plants for the conservation of these species if we want to prevent their extinction.
