Table 2. Areas of each land use type in and around Savé Valley Conservancy, and survey effort of spoor counts conducted in 2008 to determine the spoor density of large carnivores and other mammals.

Land use type	Area (km2)	Sum of transects (km)	Sample penetration	Total length surveyed (km)
Private	2,530	346	7.3	696a
Resettlement	960	149	6.5	149
Communal	984	110	8.9	110
Total	4,474	605		955

Note:

^aPrivate transects were each sampled twice in order to increase the sample size. On resettlement and communal land transects were sampled only once as there were too few spoor recorded to make this necessary.
