What POLICIES, INTERVENTIONS, and ACTIONS should be taken to reduce / prevent biodiversity loss in Africa? Which do you feel would be most successful? 2. Do you feel hunting should be illegal/ legal in Africa, under which circumstances? 3. What about all the other species not affected by hunting (plants, insects, etc.), what should be done to protect them? 4.
