Abstract
Nocturnal pollinators are vital for food security in sub-Saharan Africa, yet they face numerous threats, including habitat loss, light pollution, and climate change. Understanding these combined risks and implementing targeted management strategies to protect them is essential for ensuring sustainable agriculture, food security, and biodiversity in the region.
