Approach
Managers can protect some species that are particularly affected by human threats such as take, harvest, and illegal harvest (Kingsford et al. 2009, Struebig et al. 2015). It may be necessary to enact new regulations or more consistently enforce existing regulations, depending on the species and the nature of the risk.
Tactics
- Implement no-wake zones on lakes around active loon nests.
- Enforce regulations against illegal harvest of wildlife species.
Strategy Text
Wildlife managers are often concerned with adjusting the population size of vulnerable wildlife species. Managers can affect population size through actions that influence reproduction, survival, and dispersal. This Strategy contains Approaches for increasing populations of vulnerable species, whether they are declining, rare, or have specific climate-related vulnerabilities.
