Fully revised for the fourth edition, WILDLIFE AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT explores wildlife, fisheries, and natural resource management today, including discussions on potential careers. Designed for high school students in an agriculture program or environmental science course, this text introduces the history and administration of natural resources, as well as broader concepts that impact everyone, including conservation, endangered species, and human impacts on wildlife. Section II then focuses specifically on how to identify species, including colorful feature articles on wild animals in their habitats. As our human population continues to grow, the pressure on natural resources will inevitably increase, creating opportunities for future generations. WILDLIFE AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, 4E helps students see their role in that future, whether personal or professional, and how a better understanding of the natural world can prepare them for success.
