Savanna ecosystems support unique biodiversity and provide livelihoods for millions of people.Yet, wild herbivores are in decline due to poaching and land-use change while livestock numbers are increasing.These changes in density and composition alter savanna vegetation.There are likely indirect cascading effects O RCI
