Survey-based inference of continental African elephant decline
Long-term quantification of temporal species trends is fundamental to the assignment of conservation status, which in turn is critical for planning and targeting management interventions. However, monitoring efforts and methodologies can change over the assessment period, resulting in heterogeneous data that are difficult to interpret.
