Greatest Threats to This Continent

Africa is massive and the threats to this continent are plentiful. Climate change is one of the greatest threats, alongside poaching, overfishing, and civil unrest. The history of Africa is riddled with stories of hostile takeovers, slavery, and excessive hunting and the remnants of those issues over the last few centuries are prevalent even today. One of the largest mass migrations currently underway comes from central Africa due to rising temperatures from climate change.

How You Can Help

There are literally hundreds of ways to help people in this part of the world but in order to enact real change, the best thing you can do is lower your carbon footprint. Go one step further and encourage your family and friends to do the same and ultimately, vote for politicians who are paying attention to the effects of climate change and are taking steps to lower our country’s carbon footprint. Until we can slow, stop, and reverse the causes of climate change, everything we do will be a temporary fix to a much larger problem.
