    Few regions present bigger development challenges than the African drylands – home to nearly 300 million people, and the vast majority of Africa’s poor. Food security and rural welfare in these areas are limited by a range of factors, biophysical, socio-economic and policy-related. And many of the biggest challenges – poverty, drought, land degradation, food insecurity – will be exacerbated by climate change.

    Drylands cover over 40% of the earth's surface and support over 2 billion people, globally (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005). In East Africa alone, over 250 million people depend on drylands for their livelihoods (De Leeuw et al., 2014) and in Kenya, 70% of the total land area is classified as arid- and semi-arid (Batjes, 2004). Over the last several decades, an increasing and more sedentary human population has resulted in more pressure on these lands, and an expansion of agricultural production into marginal dryland areas that were traditionally rangelands.

    Wildlife populations are declining severely in many protected areas and unprotected pastoral areas of Africa.
    Rapid large-scale land use changes, poaching, climate change, rising population pressures, governance, policy, economic
    and socio-cultural transformations and competition with livestock all contribute to the declines in abundance. Here we
    analyze the population dynamics of 15 wildlife and four livestock species monitored using aerial surveys from 1977 to
