Percentage small prey biomass.

<p>Map of the distribution of the percentage small prey biomass across the Conservation - and Agricultural Zones. The percentage was calculated from the total available biomass of small prey and small livestock consisting of sheep (<i>Ovis</i> spp.) and goats (<i>Capra hircus</i>).</p

Standardised residuals for the presence/absence of large livestock (cattle, horses and donkeys) and small livestock (goats and sheep) per Management Zone.

Small prey biomass.

<p>Map of the distribution of small prey biomass across the Conservation - and Agricultural Zones. Small prey species refers to wild ungulate species weighing <50 kg and occurring in Botswana that are typical prey for cheetahs (<i>Acinonyx jubatus</i>) and African wild dogs (<i>Lycaon pictus</i>).</p

Large prey biomass.

<p>Map of the distribution of large prey biomass across the Conservation - and Agricultural Zones. Large prey species refers to wild ungulate species weighing >60 kg and occurring in Botswana that are typical prey for lions (<i>Panthera leo</i>), and includes warthog and ostrich but excludes atypical prey such as elephants.</p

Typical large African carnivore prey species occurring in Botswana used in the biomass analysis with their corresponding body weight (kg) and Large Stock Unit (LSU) conversion.

Land use zones in Botswana.

<p>Map of the two main land use zones: the Conservation Zones (green colours) consisting of protected areas and Wildlife Management Areas, and the Agricultural Zones (brown colours) consisting of communal grazing land, farms used mainly for livestock production and limited crop production, game ranches, and mining - and residential areas.</p
