The Importance of Wildlife Management

Wildlife management works harder to maintain the population of animals at a level that is well consistent with the interest of both wildlife and the public. Wildlife management does not operate independently but works with other agencies both governmental and non-governmental such as Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the National Park Service, and the Forest Service to balance the interests of animals and people. Wildlife management ensures that the society has enough members of animal species as having too many or too few of the same threatens biodiversity (Swan, Redpath, Bearhop, & McDonald, 2017). Diseases, illegal hunting, loss of habitat, and drought endanger wildlife, and there is a need to ensure that animals are taken care of appropriately to prevent extinction.

This paper discusses the importance of wildlife management and the roles of wildlife management in our society. Secondly, wildlife management plays an important role in protecting the endangered species. Wildlife fate is greatly linked to biodiversity. Technically, biodiversity contributes to several products that promote their wellbeing, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, medicine, food, among others. Wildlife plays an integral role in ecological processes such as pollination and seed dispersion. Wildlife also contributes massively to tourism, cultural practices, and even clothing. This means that the continued consumption of wildlife meat threatens the future existence of wildlife animals, and to prevent this from occurring wildlife management must regulate wildlife meat consumption (Van Vliet et al. Fourth, wildlife management promotes a balance between human and wildlife.

Wildlife management is necessary to achieve a healthy and a sustainable balance between human populations, ecosystem integrity, and wildlife resources. An increasing human population is placing significant demands on the natural systems upon which wildlife depend. The alteration of the habitat has caused numerous species to suffer a remarkable decline in population and even become extinct. Wildlife management thus controls the carrying capacity of habitats. Wildlife management maintains a sustainable wildlife habitat that will protect mammals, amphibians, and birds from extinction and other dangers. Finally, wildlife management maintains populations of wild animals at levels consistent with the best interest of wildlife as well as the public. It serves to protect and maintain the rare animal and plant species within the confines of ecosystem management.

Further, wildlife management seeks to restore and maintain grassland, forests and wetland ecosystems thus allowing for long-term sustainability that provides for soil conservation and wildlife habitat (Swan, Redpath, Bearhop, and McDonald, 2017). Elephants in some parts of the world especially Asian and Africa have gone an extra mile to break into people farms and massively damage agricultural firms, and well as human beings. Locals have on the other hand reacted by killing animals without consulting relevant authorities and in the process created unending conflict that will in the long term affect wildlife population. Wildlife management comes in to ensure that people and wildlife have a fair say in such issues (Swan, Redpath, Bearhop, & McDonald, 2017). In the event of damage to life and property, wildlife management will ensure that right people are compensated and that boundaries are rightfully drawn to prevent future conflicts.

More so, wildlife management partner with local and international agencies to prevent poaching, illegal hunting, illegal fishing, and poor management of wild animals by private entities. Wildlife management out to further protect biodiversity by educating people on benefits of wildlife and encouraging them to value and safeguard them. Wildlife management is a typical voice to wildlife in today’s world that is already under massive pressure from overpopulation, pollution, urbanization, and changing human lifestyles. Their continued importance and role are to ensure that despite all these social, economic, and political complexities there remains a sustainable balance between the needs of people and wildlife.
