Synopsis

This book analyzes the ongoing United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) program for animal damage control. The program utilizes an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to address the problem of wildlife damage to agriculture, natural resources, and public safety. The book examines the impacts of the program, including the use of lethal and nonlethal methods, and analyzes various alternatives to the current program. The author explores the biological, economic, and sociocultural implications of wildlife damage control, addressing issues such as target and nontarget species, economic losses, and public attitudes. By providing a comprehensive assessment of the USDA's animal damage control program, this book contributes to the understanding of the complex challenges and trade-offs involved in managing wildlife damage while preserving biodiversity and safeguarding human interests.
