dc.description.abstract | Biodiversity monitoring and data-management technologies can enhance the
protection of persecuted species, such as African elephants (Loxodonta africana), through providing management-relevant information. Implementing
these technologies, however, often presents several capacity and resource challenges for field staff in protected areas. In the Mid-Zambezi Valley, Zimbabwe,
the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA) is in the
process of adopting the Spatial Monitoring and Reporting Tool (SMART) as
law enforcement and data management tool for adaptive management. With
the support of several conservation partners, ZPWMA was able to acquire
SMART equipment (computers and handheld cyber-tracker devices) as well as
train rangers and officers on how to use SMART in the region. | en_US |
