| ID notes: | There have been many game censuses done over the years in Etosha National Park but because they have not |
| | been done in a consistent manner it is difficult to compare the numbers that are produced from them. |
| | This MS Excel file provides a summary of the various censuses carried out over the years, the methods used, the |
| | areas they covered and the numbers of animals that were counted. The information was compiled by the |
| | Environmental Profiles Project from reports kept at the Etosha Ecological Institute. |
