Implementers:

Universities

Countries:

South Africa

Objectives:

To quantify trade offs associated with conservation and human-wildlife conflict, and to provide guidelines that will inform decisions based on these quantifications.

Apply Bayesian Networks and implement frameworks which integrate expert knowledge into feasible and science-based solutions.

TFCA:

Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park & Conservation Area

PAs:

Greater Kruger area

Specific Area (Village, Town, District, Province):

Areas adjacent to Greater Kruger

HQ of the Initiative:

Minneapolis, USA

Timeframe:

2020 to 2023

Is the timeframe likely to be extended?:

Unsure

Elaborate on likelihood to extend:

Expert opinion is dependent on management implementations. As management decisions shifts, it will be possible to quantify expert knowledge. As the start of this project, expert knowledge will serve as a priori information, as the later part of this project expert knowledge will serve as posterior data.
