Ninety per cent of the world’s megafauna has disappeared since humans
migrated from Africa and fanned out across the world. Mammoths,
mastodons, woolly rhinoceros and the huge carnivores that preyed
upon them were soon extinct.The slaughter progressed across Eurasia,
the Americas and, finally, the islands. Africa became the planet’s last
megafaunal sanctuary, its creatures having watched humankind and their
weaponry evolve, and learned to avoid them.
But can Africa’s megafauna survive modern weaponry, the poaching
onslaught by criminal syndicates and the current loss of habitat? Fraught
though the situation is, the author is cautiously optimistic. Conservation
initiatives are gaining a new urgency; African governments and the
international community are showing increasing concern and, most
important of all, the Far East - which absorbs 90 per cent of the illicit
wildlife products - is beginning to clamp down on the trade. And across
sub-Saharan Africa huge transfrontier wildlife reserves are currently
under consideration.
Overkill describes
• the history and extent of human impact on Africa’s
land and marine wildlife
• the current status of Africa’s wild animals
• how Africa’s wildlife has reached its lowest ebb -
and whether the tide may now be turning.
James Clarke trained as a journalist in Britain and came to
South Africa as a daily newspaperman, where he made a career
as a science writer. His interest in environmental affairs, both
urban and rural, dates back 50 years. He was one of the three
founders of South Africa’s premier wildlife NGO, the Endangered
WildlifeTrust, and has written a range of books on natural science
as well as several books of humour. In 2015 he published Save me
from the Lion s Mouth - an investigation into human-wildlife conflict
-with Struik Nature.
