1.2.3 Data analysis
The data collected was used to calculate the average density (number/km2) of Greater Kudu within the landscape during the year 2022. This data was supplemented by historical Kudu population densities according to secondary data acquired from LBNR for year 2019 and 2020.
The presence of Kudus in a location was digitized as points using GIS software. The measures of dispersion and densities were then applied to the distribution data. In addition, Density-based point pattern analysis (PPA) was used to characterize Greater Kudu distribution in the study area in a GIS.
