Wildlife Damage Control Principles for the Management of Damage by Vertebrate Pests
by J Hone, Institute for Applied Ecology, University of Canberra, Australia
Pub Date: April 2007
Hardback
180 pages
Main Description
Wildlife can cause problems worldwide - in conservation, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, as well as to human and animal health and safety in rural and urban areas. For this reason, wildlife in affected areas can be defined as pests, and forms of control sought to limit and prevent damage. In looking at solutions by identifying and using common principles in the assessment and control of pest damage this book focuses on controlling damage, rather than the animal itself. The book demonstrates ecological theories and shows how they are relevant to biodiversity conservation and other topics, and how they can be evaluated in studies of wildlife damage control.
Readership
Scientists and students in wildlife management, environmental science and natural resource management, wildlife managers, and those involved in wildlife damage control.
