111. MEANING OF WILDLIFE
Wildlife traditionally refers to undomesticated animal species, but has come to
include all plants, fungi, and other organisms that grow or live wild in an area
without being introduced by humans.
WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
Wildlife Conservation is the practice of protecting wild plant and animal
species and their habitats. The GOAL of wildlife conservation is to ensure
that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy.
CONSERVATION
Wise use of natural resources without wasting them
RANGELAND
Rangelands are grasslands, shrublands, woodlands, and deserts that are grazed
by domestic livestock or wild animals.
112. PRINCIPLES OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION
Protect the Breeding Stock
Harvest the "Surplus" Wisely
Balance Animals and Habitat
Protect the Breeding Stock
“Breeding stock” is a term used to describe the appropriate mixture of young and adult
animals needed to maintain a population
“OR”
“Breeding stock” is a group of animals used for the purpose of planned breeding
113. HARVEST THE "SURPLUS" WISELY
• Wildlife managers learned there is more to conservation than just
protecting wildlife. They discovered that nature overproduces its
game resources, and that good wildlife management yields a
surplus that can be harvested by hunters.
114. BALANCING ANIMALS AND HABITAT
Habitats must be in balance in order to support wildlife. Remove a certain
population of plants or animals from a community, and the community may
not survive. This typically happens when urban development pushes into
wildlife areas.
115. CARRYING CAPACITY
Resources in any given habitat can support only a certain quantity
of wildlife. As seasons change, food, water, or cover may be in
short supply. Carrying capacity is number of animals habitat can
support all year long. Carrying capacity of a certain tract of land
can vary from year to year. It can be changed by nature or
humans.
116. LESSONS IN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
• In the early 1900s, wildlife managers attempted to preserve a
mule deer herd in the remote Kaibab Plateau of Arizona. Hunting
was banned, and predators were destroyed. The result was
severe overpopulation and mass starvation.
117. LESSONS IN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
• The Kaibab Plateau was opened to hunting in 1929, which brought
the population into balance with the habitat. Today, a large healthy
herd of mule deer inhabits the area.
121. • Preservation: (Saving natural resources, but with no
consumption of them), is another means of protecting or saving a
resource, such as outlawing hunting of endangered species. Both
preservation and conservation are necessary to sustain resources
for future generations.
PRESERVATION
122.
123. REASONS FOR ENDANGERMENT
• Most critical factor in species extinction There is now 20% less forest cover than existed 300
years ago.
• Main difference between hunting and poaching is that hunting is commonly done within
hunting season and with an official hunting license from the government. Illegal hunting is
often considered to be equitable to poaching.
• Pet Trade, Fur Trade , Meat Trade, Body Parts Trade
141. MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
To manage a habitat, wildlife managers must
consider historical trends, current habitat
conditions, breeding population levels, long-
term projections and breeding success.

Try vegetarian it has a healthy way of lifestyle
There are many organizations that are fighting to preserve wildlife, including
Greenpeace and the world wildlife fund
Volunteer to help at your local animal shelter
145. BENEFICIAL HABITAT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
• Food plots and planting
• Controlled burning
• Timber cutting
• Diking
• Nuisance plant or animal control
• Mechanical brush or grass control
•Water holdings
149. CONSERVATION OF RANGELANDS
• The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
principal agency for providing conservation technical assistance to private landowners,
conservation districts, tribes, and other organizations.
NRCS delivers conservation technical assistance through its voluntary Conservation Technical
Assistance Program (CTA).
• CTA is available to any group or individual interested in conserving our natural resources and
sustaining agricultural production in this country.
• Conservation technical assistance is the help NRCS and its partners provide to land users to
address opportunities, concerns.
150. CONTINUE
This assistance can help land users:
• Maintain and improve private lands and their management
• Implement better land management technologies
• Maintain and improve the aesthetic character of private land
• Explore opportunities to diversify agricultural operations
• Develop and apply sustainable agricultural systems
152. Recommendations
Love for Earth ,Nature & Animals.
Conservation laws for wildlife/forest practiced properly.
Strict actions against ,who do not abide laws.
Non industrial activities besides reserve forest.
