Purpose

This purpose of this book is to provide a context for thinking about wildlife management in the future. Increasingly, the conservation of wildlife involves balancing the growing tensions among humans and their competing interests over fish and wildlife. This book urges us to consider how to deal with this tension and its implications for the future of the fish and wildlife profession.
