This paper presents the results of the survey. Wildlife research in East Africa is not a unified field and pertinent data come from a variety of disciplines. Broadly speaking there are four major types of research involving wildlife that have been or are being carried out in East Africa: 1. Observations on natural history; 2. Taxonomic and distributional studies; 3. Research in other fields which happens to involve wildlife; 4. Systematic research focused on wildlife itself.enhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Journal ContributionSurveyingWildlifeResearchSpecieshttps://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2028.1965.tb00738.x
