Abstract
⺠We developed a collaborative method for estimating terrestrial wildlife abundance. ⺠Local peoples were included as observers and the method addressed observer bias. ⺠No expensive equipment was needed to quantify the necessary metrics. ⺠Asiatic wild ass and goitered gazelle populations in Mongolia were estimated. ⺠This is a functional model for integrating local people into conservation projects.
