摘要: Ungulate populations in African conservation areas (CAs) are widespread decline, which can largely be attributed to a lack of functionality the area encompassed by CAs themselves. We present evidence from wide range showing that they do not encompass both functional wet- and dry-season resources ungulates traditionally migrated between. Before human economic development had grown levels where interfered with migrations outside CAs, were able make use their traditional seasonal but this is becoming increasingly difficult we now seeing effects restriction movement on ungulate population numbers. New innovative strategies required for wildlife. An urgent Africa-wide survey needed establish past around prioritize regions most functional. In addition, attempts need made reconsolidate within revised expanded protected areas. Resume Les d’ongules dans les aires de africaines (AC) sont largement en declin, ce que l’on peut grande partie attribuer au manque fonctionnalite la superficie englobee par AC elles-memes. Nous presentons des preuves tirees d’une large gamme d’AC qui montrent qu’elles ne comprennent pas l’ensemble ressources fonctionnelles saison pluies et seche entre lesquelles ongules ont l’habitude migrer. Avant humaines le developpement economique n’aient atteint niveaux ou ils interferent avec se font dehors AC, etaient meme d’utiliser leurs saisonnieres traditionnelles, mais ceci est devenu plus difficile, nous voyons desormais effets cette deplacements sur chiffres d’ongules. Il realiser une etude l’echelle du continent pour etablir quelles passees presentes autour prioriser fonctionnelles. De plus, il faut innover consolider sein d’aires protegees revisees elargies.
