The satellite imagery used in this research cover mainly the Masai Mara National Reserve and the northernmost section of the Serengeti National Park (the area outlined in red). The wildebeest typically migrate over 1500 km on average every year (the purple dashed line). During June and August, the wildebeest migrate from the Serengeti plains in Tanzania into the Masai Mara National Reserve and then spread to the east crossing the Mara River in September. Then during November and December, they move south to the southern Serengeti. Image credit: EreborMountain/Shutterstock.com for the wildebeest art photo.
