Availability and use of protected areas by six immature African white-backed vultures at the overall and core foraging range scales.

<p>The proportion of each vulture's 95% KDE contour occupied by protected areas defined their availability to each vulture. At the overall foraging range scale use of protected areas was defined as the proportion of stationary (i.e. <10 km·h⁻¹) GPS locations within the 95% KDE contour that were recorded inside protected areas. The proportion of each vulture's 50% KDE contours occupied by protected areas defined their use at the core foraging range scale.
