What is the primary goal of wildlife management?

To eliminate predatory animals
To ensure the conservation of habitats
To allow unlimited hunting of certain species
To increase populations of non-game animals only

The correct answer is: To ensure the conservation of habitats

The primary goal of wildlife management is to ensure the conservation of habitats. This approach is vital because habitats provide the necessary resources for all wildlife, including food, shelter, and breeding grounds. When habitats are conserved and managed properly, it supports not only the targeted game species but also the entire ecosystem, including non-game species and their interactions within the environment. In sustainable wildlife management, it’s essential to maintain a balance that allows wildlife populations to thrive while considering human recreation, conservation efforts, and ecological health. This complex interplay of factors highlights the importance of habitat conservation as foundational to successful wildlife management strategies.
