Future Prospects?

If no measurements are taken to protect the Western Sudanian Savanna, then humans will continuously cut down trees and hunt animals in this area [1] (worldwildlife.org, 2012). If this occurs, humans will continuously have a negative impact on the ecosystem and animals in this habitat will become endangered or extinct. Hence, the ecosystem will eventually get destroyed.

To improve human impacts on this ecosystem, humans could set up protection zones such as green belts to protect the endangered species and the habitat altogether. Since trees are mostly cut down for agricultural purposes, another possibility to protect the Western Sudanian Savanna might be using other ecosystems for agriculture.

According to the table above, fire, grazing, and cutting has a negative impact on the richness, diversity, and abundance on the species. The table is based off of the species known as Laba. For that matter, the data ultimately indicates that cutting will overall bring a negative impact to the ecosystem (sciencedirect.com, 2008).
