Core Protected Areas
Processed shapefile that merged all the core protected areas (CPA), identifying the total protected areas without livestock. This is a subset of "Protected Areas" (above).

Greater Serengeti-Mara Ecosystem Boundary
A shapefile of the boundary of the GSME which is defined as the areas used by the wildebeest migration plus the upstream watershed areas connected to this.
