flag Human activity fragments elephant habitats, causing isolation and inbreeding across Africa.

flag A genomic study of 232 African elephant genomes reveals that human activities have fragmented habitats, causing isolation and inbreeding. flag Populations in northeast Africa show high inbreeding and harmful mutations, while isolated West African elephants retain some variation due to hybridization. flag Researchers warn that without connectivity, even protected herds risk genetic decline, highlighting the need for habitat corridors and international cooperation.
