Correlation coefficient (r) value between the covariates in the east Chure range. It was calculated using PAST version (4.0). When a set of two covariates have |r| ≥ .7, one was dropped from the analysis. The correlation coefficient between human disturbance (HD) and livestock presence (L) was >0.7 (bold), so HD was dropped off. Other covariates: Samp_Eff = sample effort, R = ruggedness, N = NDVI, PD = human population density, Leo = leopard, PS = prey species, WB = wild boar
