Contemporary wildlife management

Contemporary wildlife management is the science and practice of balancing wildlife conservation with human needs. It evolved from earlier practices that often prioritized hunting and resource extraction, leading to overexploitation and habitat loss. Today, it focuses on sustainable management by integrating ecological research, habitat restoration, and public engagement. This approach seeks to protect biodiversity, ensure healthy ecosystems, and promote coexistence between wildlife and communities, using strategies like regulated hunting, habitat preservation, and education. The aim is to create a harmonious relationship between people and wildlife for future generations.
