Isildo de N. Nganhane [email protected] and Harith FarooqAuthors Info & AffiliationsKnowledge resources and financial capital are mainly concentrated in the Global North (1), whereas the Global South, particularly Africa, lacks both investment in research (2, 3) and researchers (4). As a result, less than 1% of the global research output is produced by African institutions (5).

1 INTRODUCTION Humans are a major driver of the current biodiversity crisis and a primary cause of declines in species and ecosystems (Jaureguiberry et al., 2022), which has led to at least 25% of all described species now threatened with extinction (IPBES, 2019). With the global human population set to increase from less than 7.8 billion in 2020 to ca. 9.7 billion in 2050, human pressure on nature is, thus, expected to only intensify (UN DESA, 2022).

AbstractAt least 20% of reptiles are currently threatened with extinction. Due to the lack of comprehensive global assessments of the group, they have been omitted from spatial studies, especially the ones addressing conservation or spatial prioritization.
