Community perceptions and attitudes regarding wildlife crime in South Africa

Author: Duncker, Louiza C ; Gonçalves, D Date: Mar 2017 Wildlife crime is a complex problem with many interconnected facets, which are generally responded to in parts or fragments in efforts to “break down” the complexity into manageable components. However, fragmentation increases complexity as ... Read more
An expert-driven causal model of the Rhino poaching problem

Author: Koen, Hildegarde ; De Villiers, Johan P ; Roodt, H ; De Waal, A Date: Mar 2017 A significant challenge in ecological modelling is the lack of complete sets of high-quality data. This is especially true in the rhino poaching problem where data is incomplete. Although there are many poaching attacks, they can be spread ... Read more
A framework for inferring predictive distributions of rhino poaching events through causal modelling

Author: Koen, H ; De Villiers, JP ; Pavlin, G ; De Waal, A ; De Oude, P ; Mignet, F Date: Jul 2014 Rhino poaching in South Africa is leading to a catastrophic reduction in the rhino population. In this paper a Bayesian network causal model is proposed to model the underlying (causal) relationships that lead to rhino poaching events. The ... Read more

Author: Koen, Hildegarde S Date: Feb 2017 Approximately three rhinos are poached daily in South Africa. Rhino poaching is a serious problem that affects not only the rhino population of South Africa, but also the rhino population of the world. South Africa has the largest rhino ... Read more
Predictive policing in an endangered species context: Combating rhino poaching in the Kruger National Park

Author: Mouton, H Date: 10 Oct 2012 This presentation outlines a proposed top-level tool for predicting rhino poaching attacks at the Kruger National Park. Read more
A prologue to estimating the intent of a potential rhino poacher

Author: Mouton, H ; De Villiers, JP Date: 2012 A dramatic increase in rhino poaching, if allowed to continue at current rates, is threatening South Africa's rhino population with extinction. The available detection and prevention systems are not sufficient in solving this crisis. Targets ... Read more

System-level causal modelling of widescale resource plundering: Acting on the rhino poaching catastrophe

Author: Koen, Hildegarde S ; Roodt, H ; De Villiers, Johan P Date: Oct 2017 The initial goal of this study was to develop a predictive model that could serve as a pre-emptive method for curbing rhino poaching. During the development of the predictive model it became evident that only the tip of the iceberg, so to ... Read more
Technology to combat poaching: from the lab to the park

Author: Ramadeen, P Date: Oct 2015 South Africa is home to an estimated 80% of the world's rhino population. This presentation discusses technologies to combat poaching, from laboratories to safeguard experimentation that can be taken to South African National Parks. Read more
