WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

Catalog description

Humans affect populations of wild animals by having a direct impact on their populations and by having an indirect impact by modifying the habitats of these populations. This course studies how animals are managed directly and indirectly. Traditionally, wildlife biologists have mostly worked with animals that are harvested. More and more, wildlife biologists try to manage nongame species, particularly those that are rare and endangered. The field of wildlife management also tries to manage humans to bring about desired changes in animal populations. (Crosslisted as ENVL 3121.)
