Africa, the world's second-largest continent, boasts an immense biodiversity owing to its varied ecosystems and geographical diversity, which host a wide array of wildlife across different habitats. From the vast savannahs of the Serengeti with elephants, lions, and zebras to the dense rainforests of Central Africa, home to gorillas and chimpanzees, the continent showcases a remarkable range of species. Additionally, harsh environments like deserts and semi-arid zones house uniquely adapted species such as the fennec fox and dromedary camels, while freshwater habitats like the Nile River support diverse fish and reptile populations. However, these ecosystems and their inhabitants face severe threats from habitat destruction, hunting, climate change, and other human impacts, making conservation efforts crucial for preserving Africa's extraordinary wildlife and environments.
