The iconic wildebeest migrations of East Africa are an important ecological phenomenon and massive
tourist attraction.However,many wildebeest populations are in drastic decline across the region(Estesand
East,2009). Their dispersal areas and migratory corridors are being lost due to high human population densities, increasing urbanisation ,expanding agriculture and fences.Their loss would contribute to biodiversity decline,and jeopardise tourism and other ecosystem services.Urgent efforts need to be made to
protect wildebeest migratory corridors and dispersal areas to ensure these great migrations for the future
