This study provides coherent evidence on how the more than 7000 protected areas on the African continent make substantial contributions to societal welfare. While the core mandate of conservation is to protect biodiversity, this evidence pinpoints the role of protected areas for other policy priorities, such as food and water security, disaster risk reduction, secure energy supply, and urban resilience. Natural capital is degrading, both inside and outside protected areas, while societal demand for nature's benefits increases. Conservation goals and strategies in Africa have to respond to this challenge - we discuss how.
