Distribution and diversity of wildlife in northern Kenya in relation to livestock and permanent water points
Spatially explicit models are becoming increasingly important tools for simulating land-use change. In this study, we formulated and tested models that incorporated spatial correlates of agricultural expansion and used them to predict local- and landscape-scale patterns of agricultural land-use c...

Why keep lions instead of livestock? Assessing wildlife-tourism based payment for ecosystem services involving herders in the Maasai Mara, Kenya
To be effective in promoting the conservation of migratory wildlife, recipients of payment for ecosystem services (PES) must be willing to accept payment along the entire migratory corridor. This paper investigates spatial variation in willingness to accept (WTA) payments made by the Wildlife Con...
