摘要: This study aimed to examine livestock-wildlife interactions at the micro level and quantify how resources are shared in joint land use by comparing monitoring records collected on Lolldaiga Hills ranch Laikipia, Kenya from 1990s onwards. Livestock wildlife distributions together with existing water points were geo-referenced; air road census total animal biomass densities estimated. Through 38-h observation a point, interaction was recorded. During this period, decline has been identified as an acute factor for farming ranching. It found that of livestock related pasture availability during severe drought 2009. Although there is seasonality both populations, results indicated stable resident populations have resided ranch. In paper, we describe interact point pastures terms density. Such different times need be investigated further key improve productivity use.
