Safari science : testing the feasibility and reliability of tourists as citizen scientists in East African protected areas [link]Website  abstract   bibtex   
Wildlife populations continue to decline in East Africa, both in and around Protected Areas (PAs). High quality data on the density and distribution of wildlife are essential for effective conservation and management. However, methods that accurately capture data on wildlife locations at fine scales over large land areas have proven to be prohibitively difficult, expensive and time-consuming given the logistical and financial constraints of East African PAs. This study explores whether citizen science can be a reliable alternative to conventional methods of wildlife monitoring. A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Natural Resources and Environmental Science) at the University of Michigan August 2014
