population demographics compared to terrestrial mammals and this further complicates the predictive power of crude modeling. Until accurate population models can be developed, basic population demographics should be monitored for significant deviations and these events should direct management actions. In the long term the above mentioned management data will necessarily provide the information necessary to parameterize useful population models with time and area specific management applications. Monitoring and research outputs should be assessed periodically in terms of maintaining precision and accuracy to adequately monitor demographic trends. Where modification of scientific protocol is required, this should be discussed and ratified by a panel of scientists. Zoning NB RELOOK AT ZONING ESP KUNENE, ZAMBESI AND KWANDO Zoning provides an effective means of managing a species with multiple values in a human wildlife landscape. Zoning involves varying levels of management intensity loosely based on the spatial patterns of conservation and socio-economic objectives. These criteria parameterize a function which determines management actions. Zones will be based on: Protected area category (according to IUCN Protected Area Category) or comparative conservation status. This will include both banks of a river, irrespective of political boundaries Estimated crocodile population densities Expected levels of human encroachment on the crocodile habitat and the resulting conflicts between humans and crocodile Synergy with other forms of natural resource management. In particular fisheries and associated conservation measures for freshwater fish stocks.
