Abstract Increasing conflicts and social insecurity are expected to accelerate biodiversity decline escalate illegal wildlife killing. Sahara‐Sahel megafauna has experienced recent continuous due unsustainable hunting pressure.

Without conservation...
Abstract In complex areas of international policy, such as biodiversity conservation, there is a risk that well‐promoted strategies will be received by decision makers cure‐all.
