Wildlife Introduction South Gibson Co. Wildlife / NRM

Wildlife Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants, animals, and other organisms.

Domestication Brings species under human control

Humans Use Wildlife for… Consumptive – harvesting –Example: hunting, trapping, fishing Non-consumptive – interaction whereas wildlife is not harvested –Example: bird watching

Game Species Generally considered to be hunted or trapped

Non-game Species Animals that are not hunted, trapped or fished in a traditional sense

Value of Wildlife Commercial Value: profits from wildlife Game Value: individuals send considerable amounts of money on hunting and fishing Aesthetic Value: the value people place on wildlife for its beauty and appeal Scientific Value: value of wildlife for research and study – one example is the use of deer antlers to measure radiation levels in the environment Ecological Value: each species has certain roles in nature, many are interdependent on one another

Economic Importance of Wildlife Cost of hunting, fishing…etc: –Licenses –Camouflage / orange vest –Weapon of choice –Ammunition –Rods –Bait –Boat if necessary –Tree stand –Land lease / Land Preparation –Deer processing fees –Taxidermy fees

Wildlife Management The application of scientific and technical principle to wildlife populations and habitats to maintain such populations (particularly mammals, birds, and fish) essential for recreational and/or scientific purposes Examples of species management: bird banding, trapping and transplanting, land management, wildlife population surveys, vegetation surveys, wildlife extension work and implementation and regulations

Wildlife Management All agricultural sciences are based on sound, scientific research. Today’s wildlife management techniques are based on proven research

Wildlife Management Approaches Preservation: allowing nature to take its course, this practice is used often in National Parks Management: is the manipulation of populations or habitats to achieve desired goals Conservation: is the effort to maintain and use natural resources wisely

4 Significant Areas of Wildlife Conservation Research Education Law enforcement Wildlife management

Potential Wildlife Management Goals Increase in population size To remove individuals from the population on a continuing basis, which requires that enough individuals be left to reproduce and so replace those removed To stabilize or reduce the population Combinations of these goals can be used to better manage an area

Game Management Objectives Used in the United States to Manage Wildlife Components of Game Management: –Restriction of hunting –Predator control –Reservations of game lands (ex. Parks, National Forests, Refuges) –Artificial replenishment (ex. Restocking, Game Farming) –Environmental Controls (ex. Control of food, special factors and disease)
