All about African Wildlife
Africa is home to some of the most famous wild animals on Earth, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos and gorillas. Many of them live in savannas, rainforests and deserts across the continent.
National parks such as the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Kruger in South Africa protect wildlife and their habitats. Many African animals face threats from poaching, habitat loss and conflict with people, so conservation work is very important.
Many of these animals live in national parks and reserves, such as the Serengeti in Tanzania, where huge herds migrate across the plains.
Protecting African wildlife is important, because many species are threatened by habitat loss, poaching and climate change. Parks and reserves give animals safe places to live, and local communities often help to look after them.
