RNR 2031 Chapter : Bolen Chptr 3
Document Summary
In bolen"s 3rd chapter of wildlife ecology and management, he starts off by paying homage to president theodore roosevelt as one of the fore- fathers of wildlife management. He then defines the term wildlife management which is the application of ecological knowledge to achieve a balance between the needs of humans and those of wildlife. The chapter then mentions that hunting laws were enforced without any knowledge towards the habitat and reproductive natures of wild game thus ultimately ending failure. This is ironic because the previous chapter talked so much about how there was little to no law enforcement against hunting. The chapter then talks about the restoration efforts and accomplishments that have been made toward restoring bison all over the world. After briefly discussing the recovery efforts of bison, the chapter moves on to talk about led poisoning in waterfowl and other game birds.
