- Wildlife Conservation Methods
- Release of captive-bred animals
- May be poor hunters / not good at escaping from predators. Not fully developed hunting skills
- No immunity to local diseases
- Not accepted by indigenous population - problem with species that have close social structure, e.g. apes, monkeys. No protection = more likely to be killed
- Specific behavioural patters not learnt, e.g. courtship displays
- Other species may have colonised & taken over niche
- Habitat conservation
- Land Ownership
- Land ownership to establish protected areas: RSPB reserves, National Trust Land
- Landowner & other land users must manage area to protect habitat / species: NNRs. SSIs, SPAs, SACs, Ramsar Sites
- Habitat management
- Actively manage area to maintain its value. Increase suitability for particular species or restore unsuitable habitat
- Habitat management to provide suitable conditions for particular desired species
- Providing bird and bat nest boxes
- delaying mowing until after wildflower seeds have dispersed
- Habitat creation
- Very hard even when conditions are known
- Habitats created by humans that can benefit wildlife are:
- Roadside verges
- Forestry plantations
- Resevoirs
- Roadside verges
- Land Ownership
- Release of captive-bred animals
- May not recognise food species or poisonous foods because not familiar with them in captivity

- Forestry plantations
- Resevoirs
- Roadside verges
- Land Ownership
- Easier to prevent damaging influences within the area
- Habitat conservation
- Successful management need requirements, abiotic and biotic
- Planting hedges as biological corridors between woodlands
- Urban gardens / parkland
