A new focus for wildlife resource managers

The roles of professional foresters and wildlife managers are changing along with natural resources themselves. Resource values must be carefully defined, from economic, to recreational, to aesthetic. Economics have traditionally defined management issues, and will continue to do so. However, a wide array of services must be provided as well. Multiple function enterprises should be used as models for successful management. Wildlife enterprises can enjoy economic benefits as well as providing educational, recreational, employment, and aesthetic benefits to the public.
