Integrated Wildlife Management

Integrated Wildlife Management (IWM) is a balanced approach to conserving and managing wildlife by combining scientific research, habitat preservation, and human activities. It aims to maintain healthy ecosystems while addressing the needs of wildlife populations and people. IWM involves strategies like monitoring species health, controlling pests or invasive species, and promoting coexistence through regulations and community involvement. The goal is sustainable use and protection of wildlife, ensuring ecosystems remain resilient and resources are available for future generations. It emphasizes collaboration among scientists, policymakers, and local communities to achieve effective and ethical wildlife management.
