| Monitoring the distribution of wild animals using appropriate methods and survey techniques is essential not only for sustainable management but also to avoid wastage of resources. This study applied remote sensing to investigate the factors influencing the distribution of herbivores in Nairobi National Park, Kenya. Impala was selected as indicator specie for the herbivores within the park, because the population of impala had drastically reduced over time. The influence of food availability, water and disturbance on herbivore presence was investigated. A positive significant statistical relationship between impala population density and feed availability was observed. However, the correlation between impala population density and water distance was... |
