Sub-Saharan Africa is richly endowed with natural agro biodiversity that is being threatened by the impacts of climate change, deforestation, flooding, water and air pollution, genetic erosion, incessant hunting and collection of wild plants and animal species as well as natural disasters. The challenge is thus for the people and government to work together in safeguarding the environment and preserving biodiversity by adopting an integrated conservation strategies which include; application of indigenous knowledge in biodiversity conservation, adoption of organic and sustainable farming practices, setting up of botanic and zoological gardens, gene banks and a deliberate government policy aimed at environmental protection and agro biodiversity conservation to avoid extinction of endangered plant, and animal species.
