Managing For Wildlife: A Key Component for Social Acceptance of Compatible Forest Management

Part of the book series: Managing Forest Ecosystems ((MAFE,volume 8))

Abstract

Why manage for wildlife in U.S. forests? American society demands it. Which species should be favored? The social and cultural value of individual species continue to evolve. Large changes have taken place in less than 40 years; Kimmins (2002) states that changes in societal values have produced “future shock” in the forestry profession, with foresters and their institutions unable to adapt. Public demand for wildlife conservation has resulted in a long chain of legislation governing federal lands and supporting state and private wildlife conservation efforts (Hunter 1990). Nevertheless, controversies over forest management continue, and have led to a shift from active management for wildlife to establishment of large reserves off limits to active management (Hunter 1999). Now attention is shifting to second-growth forests where the public is concerned about biodiversity and ecosystem health (Hunter 1999, Lindenmayer and Franklin 2002, Shields et al. 2002).
