Wildlife
Management
The textbook definition of wildlife management is “the art and a science
that deals with complex interactions in the environment.” It involves
creating or enhancing habitat for wildlife. Wildlife managers develop management
plans that integrate a variety of habitat practices for a feature species or
to achieve species richness. Wildlife managers may also study the structure
and dynamics (i.e., changes) in a wildlife population. This helps in understanding
whether a population is increasing or decreasing. For game species, this
is especially important when designing harvest strategies to achieve a particular
goal.
