Hello, all!
So I'm still on a hunt for more livestock depredation numbers from anywhere in
Africa! If you or a
loved one has studied depredation of cows, sheep, and goats on any part of the
Continent, then
please fill in the 6-question survey below, and return by email to me
(lexasut...@gmail.com). Remember: a minute of your time could save months of
agony in a grad student's life.
Thanks, ECOLOG!
