Most natural systems are social-economic-ecological systems (SEES). The complex and uncertain nature of human-environment interactions is increasingly being recognized, affecting resource management and adaptation to global change. SEES are complex adaptive systems whose behavior and capacity to adapt is strongly influenced by feedbacks within and between the social and the ecological systems. Here, we use an SEES modeling approach to understand the decisions made and trade-offs involved in the trophy hunting of mountain nyala in Ethiopia. The aim of the project is to develop management scenarios that help the government to provide incentives to safari companies and local people to invest into monitoring and reduce poaching to manage nyala sustainably.
