Panel Discussion/Presentation
Human-Hippo Conflict & Coexistence in West Africa: A Conservation Conundrum The river hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) is listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, but this classification does not reflect regional variation. Hippos are at greatest risk in West Africa, owing to high human population densities, degraded freshwater habitats, and human-wildlife conflict. The species’ precarious situation is exemplified in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country. In this presentation, Lynne will discuss the threats to hippos in West Africa and highlight a case from rural Nigeria — where humans and hippos vie for limited space and resources in a region impacted by climate change, land degradation, poverty, and political insecurity. Is there any hope for hippos?
