George Monbiot is spearheading the Rewilding Movement. The environmentalist and writer is prominent in the platform. He was featured in TED Talk and talked about a large scale conservation approach aiming to restore the lost habitats. Here is an excerpt of his speech where he discusses the lost megafuna:
"What megafauna, you say? Well, every continent had one, apart from Antarctica. When Trafalgar Square in London was excavated, the river gravels there were found to be stuffed with the bones of hippopotamus, rhinos, elephants, hyenas, lions. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there were lions in Trafalgar Square long before Nelson's Column was built. All these species lived here in the last interglacial period, when temperatures were pretty similar to our own. It's not climate, largely, which has got rid of the world's megafaunas. It's pressure from the human population hunting and destroying their habitats which has done so."

Answer:
decrease, decrease
Explanation:
By using antimalarial drugs in order to prevent malaria, the frequency of the sickle cell allele decreases in both areas where malaria is endemic and the areas where no incidence of malaria occurs because there is no necessity of sickle cell allele in the population to prevent malarial disease. Sickle cells have high significance in prevention of malarial diseases so when there is no malaria happens in the population so there is no need for it and the allele slowly removed from the population and decrease occurs in its frequency.
