Sustainable Management of Wildlife
Sustainable Management of Wildlife:
Balancing Conservation and Utilization
Human activities impact wildlife in numerous direct and indirect ways, from hunting and habitat alteration to large-scale displacement and conservation interventions. As our world continues to change, finding sustainable methods to manage wildlife is essential for both the responsible exploitation of game species and the conservation of diverse wildlife populations.
Sustainable management involves carefully balancing the needs of human communities with the preservation of ecological integrity. This requires a deep understanding of wildlife dynamics, human-wildlife interactions, and the broader environmental context.
We encourage submissions that explore a wide range of topics related to sustainable wildlife management, including innovative approaches, practical methods, and case studies that illustrate both successes and challenges. In addition to ecological studies, we particularly welcome contributions from wildlife managers and practitioners who focus on the practical aspects of managing game and non-game species in their regions. These perspectives provide valuable insights into how different management strategies are implemented on the ground, offering a unique opportunity for cross-country comparisons and larger-scale analyses. Studies that focus solely on management practices and how they interact with ecological processes are also encouraged, as understanding these interactions is crucial for developing effective, sustainable management strategies.
​
Whether your work addresses the challenges of managing wildlife in the face of climate change, ensuring sustainable hunting practices, or developing conservation strategies that accommodate human activities, this session offers a platform to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and contribute to the ongoing conversation about how best to manage wildlife in a sustainable manner.
