The global lion (Panthera leo) population decline is partly a result of retaliatory killing in response to livestock depredation. Nairobi National Park (NNP) is a small protected area in Kenya surrounded by a human-dominated landscape. Communities around the park use flashlights to deter lions from their livestock bomas. We investigated the response by lions to the installation of a LED flashli...

The study was conducted with the objective of mapping landscape cover of Nechsar National park in Ethiopia to produce spatially accurate and timely information on land use and changing pattern. Monitoring provides the planners and decision-makers with required information about the current state of its development and the nature of changes that have occurred. Remote sensing and Geographical Inf...

Accurate and frequently updated land cover maps of environmentally protected areas are necessary for the management of legislation programs governed by the EU, national authorities and local environmental schemes. This study has analysed the suitability of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for mapping and monitoring land cover over regional areas, such as National Parks, using both hard and soft...


 To date, Transcarpathian region is where the conservation indicator in Ukraine highest (15.52%). However, network of natural geosystems includes areas that – due to absence well-established mechanisms nature protection are being harmed by excessive economic development and use outmoded environmental management approaches. One such important complex requiring its biotic landscape diversit...

Failure to separate unexpected capital gains and losses on natural assets from depletion breaks the link between Net National Product (NNP) and sustainability. In addition, for resource rich countries this can lead to large spurious fluctuations in NNP, making it virtually useless for policy purposes. In contrast, when depletion is measured correctly, the link between NNP and sustainability is ...

A detailed multi-year observational study of Red-Billed (RB) oxpecker (Buphagus erythrorhynchus) and yellow-billed (YB) (B.
