CONSERVATION & MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF WILD LIFE AND RANGELAND

MEANING OF WILDLIFEWildlife 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 CONSERVATIONWildlife 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

RANGELANDRangelands are grasslands, shrublands, woodlands, and deserts that are grazed by domestic livestock or wild animals.

PRINCIPLES OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

Protect the Breeding StockHarvest the "Surplus" WiselyBalance 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

TYPES OF WILDLIFE CONSERVATION

EX-SITUIN-SITU

• 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

REASONS FOR ENDANGERMENT

• Habitat Destruction• Most critical factor in species extinction There is now 20% less forest cover than existed 300

years ago.

• Poaching and hunting • 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.

• National and International Wildlife Trade• Pet Trade, Fur Trade , Meat Trade, Body Parts Trade

DEFORESTATION POACHING/HUNTING WILDLIFE TRADE

More Factors

Climate change / Global warming• Disease • Pollution• Fires• Natural disasters • Introduced (Invasive) Species

ENDANGERED SPECIES

STOP BUYING WILDLIFE PRODUCTS & CONSERVE NATURE

MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES

To manage a habitat, wildlife managers must consider historical trends, current habitat conditions, breeding population levels, long-term projections and breeding success.

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

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

RANGELAND CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

IMPORTANCE OF RANGELAND

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.

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

MANAGEMENT PROCESS

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.
