One of the chief concerns of wildlife management is the protection and improvement of the natural habitat so that animals have enough food and water to survive. Wildlife management involves care of the soil to produce good vegetation, it also involves care of plants, not only as a source of food, but also as protection. Animals need cover to hide from their natural enemies and to raise their young safely.
Just as crops are harvested, wildlife too must sometimes be "harvested" . By allowing limited hunting, good management can control certain species that threaten to overpopulate their habitat.
