Wild animals may vanish from Africa warns Grzimek
Dr Bernhard Grzimek, director of a leading zoo, warns Africa’s wildlife could be exterminated within 50 years. He cites elephant numbers near 20 000 and the cape lion extinct, with game preserves unlikely to halt the decline as human population grows. He notes Congo preserves require special access and urges safeguard areas to delay but not stop annihilation.
