Population Management and Restoration

Abstract

In this chapter, you will learn: 1. How to estimate a population’s probability of persistence and initiate investigations to determine that probability in specific populations 2. How to develop a plan for the conservation of a small and declining population and experimentally identify the factors most important to its recovery 3. What are the social, political, and legal conditions that support population restoration 4. Why non-native species pose a threat to native populations and how such threats can be controlled
