Wildlife management and other natural resource fields are both arts and sciences that deal with complex interactions in the environment. Wildlife “science” is based on scientific principles, which will be covered in this course. Techniques of managing wildlife, managing nature preserves and problems of managing large refugees will be included. Topics include evaluating and determining habitat requirements and management techniques for a number of bird and mammal species. Several field trips to local US fish and wildlife areas are required as part of the course.
