- Success Strategies And Wildlife Management
- Slide 8
- Wildlife managers need to identify population size and carrying capacity critical habitat food requirements Nesting/breeding requirements Symbiotic relationships Special species needs
- Slide 9
- Slide 10
- Slide 11
- Habitat management and improvement Setting aside reserves, coordinating with private landowners
- Slide 12
- Connecting fragmented habitat allows animals from each smaller area to safely get to other areas.

- Habitat management and improvement Creating artificial nesting sites (Red cockaded woodpecker in Eastern Texas) saves the bird time so they can reproduce more frequently
- Slide 14
- Federal program Pays land owners to put marginal lands back into native vegetation to provide wildlife habitat 31.4 million acres currently
- Slide 15
- Removal of invasive species, replanting native species, using prescribed burns
- Slide 16
- Individuals are captured in well- populated areas and moved to less- populaed areas Increases genetic biodiversity 1996 wolves reintroduced in Yellowstone
- Slide 17
- Usually with egg- layers birds/amphibians Young are raised until they can survive on their own in the wild and then released
- Slide 18
- Genetic index of endangered species Cross breeding of distantly-related individuals to improve the population
