I worked on aardvarks many years ago and am currently Chair of the IUCN Afrotheria Specialist Group.
There is evidence (not from my own work though) of climate change impacting aardvarks in very dry areas like the Kalahari.
An initiative led by the Center for Sustainability Transitions (CST) at Stellenbosch University, in partnership with the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and made possible through the JWO research grant.
The development of the BII depends on the input of experts across the continent to adequately represent African biodiversity. The index will be presented in a usable form for decision making. Join our network to get involved or to stay updated as the project progresses.
