My PhD focuses on #Kenya ๐ฐ๐ช a megadiverse country undergoing rapid socioeconomic and environmental change.
We aimed to understand how Kenyaโs different habitats & land-uses and contribute the conservation of biodiversity & ecosystem service provision

Next #SystematicConservationPlanning to investigate what biodiversity and ecosystem services are protected, where more protection is needed and where #reforestation to meet ๐ฐ๐ชโs 10% cover by 2030 would most benefit people and biodiversity ๐ฑ๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ง๏ธ

They hold diverse values, with broad agreement on the relative importance both protectionist and extractive land-uses. Maps also identify what is where. Showing the importance of different forms of #ProtectedArea and the farm & #rangelands between them

We next mapped a set of land-use scenarios for the Central Highlands and used ๐ as a surrogate for connectivity. Now we are running a #MultiCriteriaDecisionAnalysis โ๏ธ๐คto quantify stakeholder values towards biodiversity and ecosystem service delivery

We first interviewed stakeholders including farmers, foresters, pastoralists, ranchers, researchers, townspeople and civil servants to focus our research to address the spatial planning required achieve the goals of #KenyaVision2030 developmental plan

5. Conclusion
Georgetownโs greenspaces support the most diverse bird communities (not unusual), but itโs many canals and waterways are likely to play a key role in enhancing habitat connectivity as they traverse densely urbanized areas.
#DICECON20 #ConsArea
4. Results
We recorded 3408 birds (98 species).
Avian detections, richness, and community composition differed across LCT, with managed greenspace (1st) and urban bluespace (2nd) supporting most diverse communities.
Indicator species present in all LCT.
#DICECON20 #ConsArea
3. Methodology
Many early mornings with @agamiaagami and @JessJessFisher collecting bird and habitat data from 114 sites (19 from each LCT), followed up by a bit of community (NMDS & MRPP) and indicator species (IndVal) analysis.

1. Background
Cities can harbour important wildlife communities, yet most research has come from urban temperate studies. So, what about the bird communities in tropical cities? We took a look at Georgetown, #Guyana ๐ฌ๐พ
#DICECON20 #ConsArea
2. Research Aim
To identify which urban landcover types (LCT) in Georgetown were important for supporting diverse bird communities and their #conservation.

This project was supervised by @AnotherBobSmith funded by @Darwin_Defra, @GCRF_Kent & @DICE_Kent and carried out in collaboration with @alloutafrica @kuwukajda @uemmoz @eswatiniuni
Thank you to all our partners and all those who tuned in today.

We will combine these individual layers to produce the final ecotourism suitability map using the AHP method to weigh criteria. This will help inform decision makers and local communities on how to maximise the benefits of ecotourism sustainably.
#DICECON2020 #ConsArea
4/6
The ecotourism suitability maps that we generated for individual criteria were all significantly different from each other: further establishing the importance of combining multiple criteria for more accurate decision-making.
#DICECON2020 #ConsArea
3/6
We identified 10 criteria under 4 themes that were important for ecotourism in the region based on past studies and expert consultation.
#DICECON2020 #ConsArea
2/6
We developed a #GIS based multi-criteria decision making model to identify areas with high ecotourism potential in the #Mozambique and #Eswatini sections of #Maputaland.
#DICECON2020 #ConsArea
1/6 #Ecotourism drives sustainable development in human dominated landscapes with high conservation value.
Today at #DICECON2020 #ConsArea we present our work that aimed to map and model ecotourism potential in Maputaland to help guide development and conservation activities.
