Our team found that lions, leopards, and humans have linear population growth charts, whereas elephants, rhinos, and buffalos have more exponential growth rates. Our recommendations include establishing two outposts along the Tanzanian border, tracking and protecting rhinos, leopards, and elephants with multiple teams, setting hard caps on the number of some species allowed in the reserve, and protecting endangered species like elephants, leopards, and rhinos from poachers. We also suggested watching the populations of buffalo and setting a hard cap to prevent them from outgrowing their predators proportionally and overgrazing the land
