Do carnivore surveys match reports of carnivore presence by pastoralists? A case of the eastern Serengeti ecosystem [PDF]
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Human-carnivore encounters are common where humans and wild carnivores share the same landscape. The frequency of such encounters gives insight regarding carnivore density and might correlate with human-carnivore conflict incidences.
