Table 3. Assessed and perceived risk index for key animal species.

Species Perceived Severity Index Assessed Severity Index Variance Perceived Incidence Index Assessed Incidence Index Variance
Baboon (Papio anubis) 1.17 1.24 +P 0.54 0.37 +P
Wild Pig (Potamochoerus sp.) 1.70 1.48 +A 0.39 0.29 +P
Monkey (Cercopithecus & Colobus spp.) 1.43 1.651 +P 0.17 0.261 +A
Bush Duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia) 1.16 1.46 +P 0.08 0.13 +A
Goat (Capra hircus) 1.50 1.24 +A 0.07 0.59 +A
Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) 1.50 1.631 +P 0.03 0.021 +P

+ indicates the highest factor (i.e., A = assessed or P = perceived risk). Severity index measured from 1 (most severe) to 2 (least severe) and incidence from 0 to 1 (most reported).

Assessed severity and incidence indexes are conservative for chimpanzee and monkey due to fruit and sugar cane not being included in estimates of damage area.
