An interactive ArcGIS StoryMap produced for the Mara Elephant Project (MEP) examining elephant movement patterns, habitat change, and the escalating human-wildlife conflict crisis in the Maasai Mara ecosystem. Combining GPS collar data, Random Forest land cover classification, Circuitscape corridor modelling, and a Combined Pressure Index, the StoryMap translates complex spatial analysis into a compelling narrative for conservation practitioners, donors, and policymakers.
