Methods of Vegetation Rehabilitation for Wildlife Conservation

Abstract

There is more to the conservation of wild animals than keeping individual species alive. It is also necessary to maintain their ecological relationships with other plants and animals, relationships with others of their own species and natural patterns of behaviors. This paper deals with methods of vegetation rehabilitation to conserve wildlife ecology, especially for large forest mammals. The first step for the rehabilitation is to compare the natural habitat and ecology of the animal with the intended conservation area. The second step is to rehabilitate the vegetation of the target area by logging and planting so that it comes to resemble the natural habitat. In some case, some economic activities also can coexist in the area. The final step involves monitoring the habitat and ecology of the animal in the rehabilitated area.
