Moreover, the Serengeti has four of the most globally threatened or endangered animal species: black rhinos, cheetah, elephants, and African wild dogs (5).

Buildings in the parks must be unobtrusive and waste disposal is carefully controlled as all human activity is monitored and strictly regulated (8).

Through the mass depletion of the ozone layer from CO2 emissions in the atmosphere, the Serengeti National Park faces that dramatic consequences of drastic weather patterns and wildlife depopulation due to the pollution and weather patterns. In other areas of the world, there is severe drought, flooding and natural disasters. However the Serengeti National Park is safely taken care of and continuing the ecological development of nature and wild animals in wild places.
