Their contributions, from remote outposts to major cities, guard the natural world of the entire country. In \u003ci\u003eState Wildlife Management and Conservation\u003c\/i\u003e, Thomas J.

The authors cover key issues, including the limits of private land ownership, the funding of wildlife regulation, the nuances of humanwildlife conflict, the role of law enforcement, disease control efforts, and the challenges involved in balancing the perspectives of hunters, nonhunters, and animal rights advocates. Detailed essays also discuss state management techniques for a wide range of wildlife, including big game and migratory birds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eState Wildlife Management and Conservation\u003c\/i\u003e is a comprehensive, nationwide account of state management efforts. It will aid professors training the next generation of wildlife professionals, students hoping to enter the profession, and anyone working with wildlife to develop a more sophisticated understanding of what it means to be a state wildlife biologist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors: M.
