This understanding of animal behavior can help managers design better wildlife and nature reserves, reduce human-wildlife conflict, understand and manage species' responses to human-induced environmental stress, and manage introduced species.

How much information on population biology is needed to manage introduced species?

It also manages species which are not yet threatened, but whose existence or habitat is in jeopardy.

U.S. tightens fishing policy, setting 2012 catch limits for all managed species

Here, they learn and observe how to manage threatened and endangered species.

Management objectives include managing habitat for migratory birds, managing threatened and endangered species, preserving maritime forest communities, and offering wildlife-dependent recreation and educational programs and activities.

Current conservation efforts are focused on preserving natural habitats, managing invasive species to reduce competition, and prohibiting timber harvest.

There's a moral imperative to manage invasive species, but obviously we can't do that in teams of three and that's where citizen science is so powerful.

For instance, the difficulties in managing highly migratory species such as tuna are completely different from those for harvesting seaweed or some species of shellfish.
