    <abstract lang="eng" displayLabel="Abstract">This polygon shapefile portrays the spatial distribution of wildebeest numbers observed in Kenya from 1994 to 1996. Wildlife counts came from a rangeland census using low altitude flights. Animals are aggregated to squares of 5 kilometers by 5 kilometers.</abstract>
    <abstract lang="eng" displayLabel="Purpose">This data was used in Map 6.2 in Nature's Benefits in Kenya: An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being.</abstract>
    <note lang="eng" displayLabel="Preferred citation">International Livestock Research Institute. (2007). Wildebeest Distribution: Kenya, 1994-1996. ILRI. Available at: http://purl.stanford.edu/kg342gc4695</note>
    <note displayLabel="Supplemental information">Wildlife counts come from a rangeland census using low-altitude flights in Kenya. Numbers of animals observed were aggregated to 5km grid cells. Note: A number of wildebeest nul should be interpreted as "No observation of wildebeest". Please refer to DRSRS for updates.</note>
