Joining forces toward proactive elephant and rhinoceros conservation.

ABSTRACT: Proactive approaches that anticipate the long-term effects of current and future conservation threats could increase the effectiveness and efficiency of biodiversity conservation. However, such approaches can be obstructed by a lack of knowledge of habitat requirements for wildlife.
