Description: English: Interpolated Elephant Dung Count and Human-Sign Frequency across the Ndoki-Dzanga MIKE Site (Congo Basin) : Increasing colour intensity signifies increasing dung and human-sign frequency. the abundance and range of forest elephants are threatened from poaching that is most intense close to roads. The probability of elephant presence increased with distance to roads, whereas that of human signs declined. At all distances from roads, the probability of elephant occurrence was always higher inside, compared to outside, protected areas, whereas that of humans was always lower. Inside protected areas, forest elephant density was correlated with the size of remote forest core, but not with size of protected area. Forest elephants must be prioritised in elephant management planning at the continental scale. Date: 28 August 2016, 20:52:46.
