- Estimates indicated that globally 123,980 km 2 of additional agricultural land, predominantly in South and Central America, and sub-Saharan Africa, would be needed to replace wild meat protein with livestock-derived protein — placing up to 267 species at risk of extinction.

Extra agricultural land to replace wild meat protein with livestock is 124,000 km2. This land-use change could drive >260 species toward extinction, globally. Context-specific factors moderate risks of food insecurity and biodiversity loss. Booth et al., 2021, Current Biology , 1788–1797. 31 April 26, 2021 2021 The Authors.
