Mount Kilimanjaro just dropped a bombshell: nearly 75% of its native plant species are gone, but climate change isn’t the main villain here. Researchers found that land use changes—think farming, overgrazing, and population growth—are actually the top culprit. Non-native plants are taking over, and it’s messing with local wildlife, food, and even people’s health. The silver lining? Traditional homegardens could help bring the mountain’s ecosystem back to life. Wild, right? #Science #Kilimanjaro #Biodiversity
