TAWIRI Aerial Point Survey estimates 1,366,109 wildebeest

node

TAWIRI, with TANAPA and the Frankfurt Zoological Society and funding via KfW, flew an Aerial Point Survey in which each image was counted three times by trained volunteers. The estimate was 1,366,109 animals, with a margin of about ±231,741, giving a range of roughly 1,134,368 to 1,597,850.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
