This book delves into the development and implementation of RUN WILD, a pioneering wildlife habitat information system created in the 1970s. It addresses the growing need among field biologists and land managers for a comprehensive and accessible method to store and retrieve the ever-expanding volume of wildlife habitat data. The author meticulously details the system's framework, encompassing data collection, storage, and retrieval processes. RUN WILD's innovative approach categorizes information into three distinct levels: a general wildlife resource inventory, species-habitat associations, and detailed management guidelines for individual species. The text explores the system's adaptability to diverse management philosophies, including species diversity and featured species approaches. It underscores RUN WILD's user-friendly design, enabling field biologists to readily access and utilize critical data without requiring extensive interpretation or specialized expertise. This book offers valuable insights into the historical context of wildlife habitat information management and the challenges faced by early conservation efforts. The author's vision for RUN WILD's expansion into areas such as food habits, habitat management, and species profiles highlights the system's potential for long-term impact on wildlife conservation strategies.
