Africa is changing rapidly. Roads and railways are being built into remote wilderness areas to enable economic development through resource use. Gold, oil, timber, rare earth minerals, iron, coal, gas and much else has been extracted at an alarming rate over the last 50 years. the next 15-20 years we are going to lose our last wilderness areas to poor land management, pollution, poaching, wildlife trade, logging, agriculture, conflict, and the devastation of large-scale mining across the continent. The impacts are clear and Africa is just about to change forever. The great beating heart of this ancient continent, the birthplace of humankind, is dying.
