The African elephant is an important keystone species that may have significant effects on ecosystem structure and eco-tourism revenues. In Kruger National Park (KNP), South Africa, where elephant populations have been increasing, management have adopted a zonation approach, with zones identified for specific and measurable management interventions to control elephant populations, or to reduce conflict with humans...
