| Assessment of medium and large mammals in the Kafa Biosphere Reserve | |
| Full Book | |
25 species were recorded. The presence of the endangered wild dog (_Lycaon pictus_) could not be confirmed, it is possible that the species is locally extinct. The presence of lion (_Panthera leo_) was confirmed, this may be considered as flagship species. Larger mammals are not useful as indicators of the status of conservation of the forests because of their very low densities. Camera trapping revealed very low capture rates which would indicate abnormally low mammal density, this needs to be confirmed and investigated. |
