Woody plant encroachment
Mammals: animals that prefer to live in open areas (where there are not many large plants), have to move when woody encroachment happens Animals that hunt, struggle to do that where there is a lot of bush. This is the case cheetah, white-footed fox, and antelopes like the Common tsessebe, Hirola and plains zebra. In Latin America the habitat of the almost extinct Guanaco is threatened by woody encroachment. In some places animals have 80% less food when woody encroachment happens.
