Abstract
Ranger patrolling is one of the key tools used by conservation managers, particularly in tropical countries, to ensure law enforcement occurs in protected areas and that poaching is minimized.

Yet very little research has looked at how best to allocate patrol effort to deter illegal activities within a protected area and to maximize efficiency of law enforcement.
