Diversified local livelihood options will reduce human pressures on biodiversity, leading to improved conservation. Local people and their livelihood practices comprise the most important threat to the biodiversity resources of the area in question. ICDPs offer sustainable alternatives to traditional approaches of protected areas management.
Wildlife management is the management process influencing interactions among and between wildlife, its habitats and people to achieve predefined impacts. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Wildlife management can include wildlife conservation , population control , gamekeeping , wildlife contraceptive and pest control .
When designing a wildlife monitoring strategy, it is important to minimize harm to the animal and implement the 3Rs principles (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement). [58] In wildlife research, this can be done through the use of non-invasive methods, sharing samples and data with other research groups, or optimizing traps to prevent injuries ...
This understanding of animal behavior can help managers design better wildlife and nature reserves, reduce human–wildlife conflict, understand and manage species’ responses to human-induced environmental stress, and manage introduced species. [15] Wildlife managers commonly try to create wildlife reserves to conserve habitat for species of ...
Determining the size, type and location of habitat to conserve is a complex area of conservation biology. Although difficult to measure and predict, the conservation value of a habitat is often a reflection of the quality (e.g. species abundance and diversity), endangerment of encompassing ecosystems, and spatial distribution of that habitat.

Wildlife rehabilitation requires specialized knowledge and training in wildlife biology, veterinary medicine, and animal care. The process typically follows these steps: Rescue: Rehabilitation begins when an animal is found and reported to a wildlife rehabilitator, or seized from the illegal wildlife trade or a poacher. If you find wildlife in ...
A more recent addition to wildlife observation tools are the web sites that facilitate uploading and management of images from remote wildlife cameras. For example, the Smithsonian Institution supports the eMammal and Smithsonian Wild programs, which provide a mechanism for volunteer deployment of wildlife cameras around the world.
The Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) is part of the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford in England. [1] Its mission is to achieve practical solutions to conservation problems through original scientific research , training conservation scientists to conduct research, putting scientific knowledge into practice, and ...
