    Wildlife management involves manipulating wildlife populations and habitats to achieve specific goals. It uses both active and passive strategies. Active strategies directly or indirectly influence populations, while passive strategies protect wildlife from external threats like poaching or habitat fragmentation. The objectives of wildlife management include maintaining healthy ecosystems, preventing human-animal conflicts, increasing threatened species populations, preventing diseases, and providing recreation and livelihoods. Management strategies include population management through translocation, culling, or sterilization. Habitat management focuses on ensuring adequate food, water, cover, and space. Monitoring involves visual observations, postmortem analysis, studying habitat factors, and using camera traps.

    The science and art of making decisions and toking actions to


    monipulote the structure, dynomics and reiations of populations,
    to achieve specific human objectives by

    Active Passive
    (Manipulative (Protective)

    Active: Influence populations directly or indirectly.


    Threats are intrinsic
    Passive: Protect from extrinsic factors like poachino
    habitat fragmentation etc
    Active Managememt (taking positive measures
    Increasing herbivore population by creating grassland

    Active vs Passive Ensuring distribution of herbivores in summers by creating or closing
