Predicting the impacts of human population growth on forest mammals in the highlands of southwestern Ethiopia

2021-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Projections of human population growth for 2050 indicate that Africa is expected to steadily increase its rural population, raising questions on how to best accommodate people while minimizing impacts on biodiversity. We explored the outcomes of scenarios of rural population growth mediated by housing development. We designed our scenarios based on (i) patterns of housing development (i.e., housing densification v...
