Taking into account the results of internal consistency from the previous study, where Cronbach's coefficient ranged 0.42-0.72 for the subscales and 0.8 for the total, the level of reliability indicates the total KINDL could only produce reliable assessments for group comparisons [ 13].
They found that the reliability ranged from poor to excellent where the least reliable assessments were completed at different times by different raters.

Reliable assessments of how human activities affect wild populations are essential for effective natural resource management.
Although, ideally combining the use of expert and non-expert raters, provides reliable assessments and validity support.
Reliable assessments of how human activities will affect wildlife populations are essential for making scientifically defensible resource management decisions.
