The definitive textbook for students of wildlife management, now
updated to cover the latest techniques, tools, and topics. Wildlife
Management and Conservation presents a clear overview of the
management and conservation of animals, their habitats, and how
people influence both. The relationship among these three
components of wildlife management is explained in chapters written
by leading experts and is designed to prepare students for careers
in which they will be charged with maintaining healthy animal
populations. To be successful wildlife professionals, they will
need to find ways to restore depleted populations, reduce
overabundant, introduced, or pest species, and manage relationships
among various human stakeholders. This book gives them the basic
knowledge necessary to accomplish these goals. This second edition,
which is updated throughout, features several new and expanded
topics, including communication in the wildlife profession, fire
science, Indigenous models of management and conservation,
plant-animal interactions, quantitative analysis of wildlife
populations, and a detailed glossary. The book also covers: * Human
dimensions of wildlife management * Animal behavior * Predator-prey
relationships * Structured decision making * Issues of scale in
wildlife management * Wildlife health * Historical context of
wildlife management and conservation * Hunting and trapping *
Nongame species * Nutrition ecology * Water management * Climate
change * Conservation planning The most widely used foundational
text in the field, this is the perfect resource not only for
students but also for early career professionals and those in
related fields who need to understand the core tenets and tools of
wildlife conservation and management. Contributors: C. Jane
