ARKive is a web site on endangered species. We describe e-learning aspects of wildlife enthusiasts, consisting of two (overlapping) segments: conservationists and general public wildlife enthusiasts. Both segments are passionate about wildlife and conservation issues, with conservationists being most passionate. Conservationists have used the Internet longer and also use email more. Work is sti...

With the creation of the 1997 Habitat Conservation Plan, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR, or Department) has charted a new course for forest management of 1.45 million acres of forested state trust land covered by the riparian conservation strategy. The Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) agreement, signed with the Federal Services (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Nati...

Fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (FGM) analysis provides a non-invasive method for studying the physiological response of wildlife to a variety of stressors and is a ground-breaking monitoring technique in wildlife management and conservation. The conservation benefits of successful wildlife translocation restocking efforts are significant but understandably stressful for the animals being captu...

Limiting the impact of wildlife damage in a cost effective manner requires an understanding of how control inputs change the occurrence of damage through their effect on animal density. Despite this, there are few studies linking wildlife management (control), with changes in animal abundance and prevailing levels of wildlife damage. We use the impact and management of wild pigs as a case study...

International trade in wildlife is a key threat to biodiversity conservation. CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, seeks to ensure international wildlife trade is sustainable, relying on trade bans and controls. However, there has been little comprehensive review of its effectiveness and here we review approaches taken to regulate wildlife ...
