Supplemental information	Species numbers are aggregated using a "tropical livestock unit" (TLU) (which is equivalent to an animal weight of 250 kilograms) to grid cells of 5x5 km and then averaged by square kilometer. The wildlife counts include 21 different large grazing animals that can be observed during low-altitude flights in Kenya. Units are in "tropical livestock unit per sq. kilometer." Note: A livestock density nul should be interpreted as "No observation of animals". Please refer to DRSRS for updates.
Use limitation	Data set is not for use in litigation. While efforts have been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the state of the art, WRI, cannot assume liability for any damages, or misrepresentations, caused by any inaccuracies in the data, or as a result of the data to be used on a particular system.
