Special Issue on Wildlife Ecology

As the world’s human population and its demands on the earth’s limited resources steadily grow, the welfare of wildlife species and the chances for their continued coexistence with man will depend on enlightened conservation and management programs. Wildlife ecology is the study of animal populations with a special view to understanding their interactions with people. Wildlife ecologists study endangered species, game species, nongame species, and wildlife pests, and try to find ways to maintain these animals in numbers that are in the overall best interests of society, whether these interests be aesthetic, ecological, economic or recreational. As one of the most important and timely research fields of human life, wildlife ecology is of great attraction to researchers.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore wildlife ecology. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Major threats to wildlife
• North American Model of Wildlife Conservation
• Wildlife as an international resource
• Non-government involvement
• Sustainable utilization of species and ecosystems
• Priorities for national action

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Wildlife Ecology” should be selected during your submission.
