Catch-Tag-Release Programs
Catch-Tag-Release programs are wildlife management strategies where animals are captured, fitted with identification tags or GPS devices, and then released back into their habitat. This approach helps researchers monitor animal movements, behaviors, and population dynamics without harm. The data gathered informs conservation efforts, habitat management, and understanding of species health. These programs are crucial for studying wildlife in a minimally invasive way, ensuring that natural behaviors can continue while providing valuable insights for protecting species and ecosystems.
