Description

Data on animal species were collected during wildlife census using Kilometric Abundance Index (KAI). Thus, geographical coordinates were registered using GPS and all information of the species observation such as habitat, location were also recorded on field sheets by team leaders. A total number of 659 data were recorded for animal census in 2014 in the Biosphere Reserve of W.
