  Wildlife management - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wildlife management is a process for seeking to keep certain wildlife populations at a level felt to be more tolerable by the people undertaking the management.
It is claimed that this is done within the carrying capacity of the environment, as determined by the science of ecology; however this science is disputed, for example with animal welfare supporters saying that the killing of foxes merely serves to draw larger numbers of foxes into an area.
Most wildlife management is concerned with the preservation and control of habitat, but other techniques such as reforestation, re-introduction of species or hunting may also be used to help manage key species.
