Projectomschrijving

Poaching occurs at various times and places in protected areas, and it is the second biggest threat to animal species after habitat destruction. Therefore, understanding its behavior and mapping the spatiotemporal patterns of poaching would enable effective patrolling and law enforcement in the future, and potentially reduce the declines in wildlife populations in protected areas and lowering crime in society.
