🌿 PREDATOR MANAGEMENT—WHY IS IT DONE?
Predators have an important place in nature. But when predation causes livestock losses, repeated poultry kills, or threatens vulnerable wildlife, responsible management can help.
🐓 Protecting livestock and poultry helps farmers and families safeguard the animals in their care.
🪺 Targeted management of nest predators can help protect eggs and young birds in areas where predation is limiting nesting success.
🌾 Healthy habitat matters, too. Good nesting cover, secure animal enclosures, removing food attractants, and proper fencing all play a role.
Regulated trapping is one tool in that work. Responsible trappers identify the problem species, use appropriate equipment, follow regulations, and work to avoid catching other animals.
Successful management takes a clear purpose, respect for wildlife, and follow-through. Removing predators alone won’t fix poor habitat or prevent every loss.
Conservation means caring for the land—and taking responsibility for what happens on it.
