Success Strategies And Wildlife Management
8
Wildlife managers need to identify population size and carrying capacity critical habitat food requirements Nesting/breeding requirements Symbiotic relationships Special species needs
11
Habitat management and improvement Setting aside reserves, coordinating with private landowners
12
Connecting fragmented habitat allows animals from each smaller area to safely get to other areas.
13
Habitat management and improvement Creating artificial nesting sites (Red cockaded woodpecker in Eastern Texas) saves the bird time so they can reproduce more frequently
14
Federal program Pays land owners to put marginal lands back into native vegetation to provide wildlife habitat 31.4 million acres currently
15
Removal of invasive species, replanting native species, using prescribed burns
16
Individuals are captured in well- populated areas and moved to less- populaed areas Increases genetic biodiversity 1996 wolves reintroduced in Yellowstone
17
Usually with egg- layers – birds/amphibians Young are raised until they can survive on their own in the wild and then released
18
Genetic index of endangered species Cross breeding of distantly-related individuals to improve the population
19
Radio collars can be put on birds/mammals to keep track of what habitat they use and whether they are alive or dead.
