Long description:

Harvest of Fish and Wildlife: New Paradigms for Sustainable Management unites experts in wildlife and fishery sciences for an interdisciplinary overview of harvest management. This book presents unique insights for embracing the complete social-ecological system to ensure a sustainable future. It educates users on evolutionary and population dynamics; social and political influences; hunter and angler behavior; decision processes; impacts of regulations; and stakeholder involvement.


Features:



  • Written by twenty-four teams of leading scientists and managers.

  • Promotes transparent justification for fishing and hunting regulations.

  • Provides examples for integrating decision making into management.

  • Emphasizes creativity in management by integrating art and science.


This book appeals to population biologists, evolutionary biologists and social scientists. It is a key resource for on-the-ground managers and research scientists developing harvesting applications.


As the book?s contributors explain:



  • ?Making decisions that are robust to uncertainty?is a paradigm shift with a lot of potential to improve outcomes for fish and wildlife populations.? ?Andrew Tyre and Brigitte Tenhumberg

  • ?Temporal shifts in system states?must somehow be anticipated and dealt with to derive harvest policies that remain optimal in the long term.? ?Michael Conroy

  • ?Proactive, effective management of sportspersons?will be essential in the new paradigm of harvest management.? ?Matthew Gruntorad and Christopher Chizinski
