Competing Interests
As the first author of this manuscript, I declare perceived financial competing interests with the funding source “The Nature Conservancy” that provided the grant to undertake field work for the research study that derived in this publication under review. No omit to say that the period of time when this financial support was disbursed (2007) and when the current manuscript was first submitted (2016) is outside the 5-year time frame typically applying to competing interest declaration.
