  abstract = {{T}hroughout the world, biodiversity and nature's contributions to people are under threat, with clear changes evident. {B}iodiversity and ecosystem services have particular value in {A}frica- yet they are negatively impacted by a range of drivers, including land use and climate change. {I}n this communication, we show evidence of changing biodiversity and ecosystem services in {A}frica, as well as the current most significant drivers of change. {W}e then consider five plausible futures for the {A}frican continent, each underlain by differing assumptions. {I}n three out of the five futures under consideration, negative impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services are likely to persist. {T}hose two plausible futures prioritizing environment and sustainability, however, are shown as the most likely paths to achieving long term development objectives without compromising the continent's biodiversity and ecosystem services. {S}uch a finding shows clearly that achievement of such objectives cannot be separated from full recognition of the value of such services.},
