Description
These occurrence data were collected systematically during wildlife census within the W park and its huntings zones as well. All the animal observation geographical points were recorded using GPS by fauna guards. These data were directly registered on paper sheets on field and controlled by team leaders. A total number of 1581 records were made on mammal species in 2013 and 2015 (respectively 745 records in 2013 and 836 in 2015).
