The monitoring program will collect and stream to the biodiversity dashboard, real-time values on
One source of data on the number of arrested rhino traffickers and the status of their subsequent court cases is the Centralized Wildlife Trafficking Investigative Database (CWT-ID) maintained by C4ADS. Access to this data will require setting up a (possibly paid) partnership with C4ADS. Again, courtesy of C4ADS, one source of data on the number of intercepted shipments of rhino horns can be acquired for free from https://wildlifedashboard.c4ads.org/home/about.
Rhino abundance in South Africa can be estimated by first acquiring the most recent data on rhino sightings. Doing so will require the cooperation of South African conservation agencies. This cooperation would be won through the services of the firm's liaison consultant. The following Cogent Social Sciences 2022 discusses why this consultant is critical to the success of any in-country biodiversity project. And see When To Set Up A Liaison Office in India 2024 for a step-by-step for an example of how to set up a liaison office.
The article Probe 2023 contains an example data set along with its use in computing an estimate of an animal's abundance using a capture-recapture statistical estimator. A continuous-time approach is taken in African Journal of Ecology 2020 . A SAS code for such a computation with an accompanying example data set is available here.
