Applied Wildlife Ecology

Applied wildlife ecology is the study of how wildlife species interact with their environment, including the impacts of humans and their activities on the environment. It is an interdisciplinary field which applies ecological principles to the understanding of wildlife populations, their ecology, and their conservation and management. Applied wildlife ecologists help identify and reduce threats to wildlife species and their habitats, by utilizing scientific knowledge to design and implement effective conservation and management strategies. This field has become increasingly important for biodiversity conservation and the preservation of species and habitats in the face of global environmental change.
