Spatial and Landscape Analysis: Applications for Cheetah Conservation

摘要: Quantitative spatial analysis can be a powerful tool for informing conservation management strategies cheetahs ( Acinonyx jubatus ). Tools and approaches include methods to predict where are most likely occur, quantify habitat suitability fragmentation, assess population viability, identify landscape linkages. Best used, quantitative help conservationists managers proactive able better exact areas resources should allocated what specific kind of interventions needed. In this chapter, we provide review landscape-scale, planning approaches, highlight the need focus analytical modeling tools toward understanding how address underlying drivers cheetah growth or decline—that is, fitness-related variables.
