Specialisation Management
Specialisation in forest management, wildlife resource management, and management of ecosystems and landscapes (restoration ecology), are possible. Forest and nature management always takes place in a societal context. A detailed analysis is needed of the scientific principles which underlie the various policy and management options chosen for a particular theme. It is evaluated if the proposed solutions are scientifically sound, realistic and feasible for nature and people. What for instance is the best option for wildlife conservation: do populations need to be managed or not? How to determine a ‘desired’ population level? How to evaluate the effects of various management activities? How to deal with the different perceptions of people? Which research is needed?
