Two major reasons are: Habitat Loss Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trade. The Expansion of agriculture, urban development, and deforestation have reduced the natural habitats of many species.

The “Big Five” refers to five of Africa’s greatest wild animals, originally named by big-game hunters for being the hardest to hunt on foot. Today, the term is used more commonly by safari tour operators and wildlife enthusiasts to highlight the must-see animals during a safari. The Big Five are: Elephant, Leopard, Rhino, Lion, Buffalo.
