What is the first step in wildlife management as performed by managers?

  1. Calculate losses to disease

  2. Estimate wildlife population using inventories

  3. Consider economic or social objectives

  4. Estimate the harvest available for hunters

The correct answer is: Estimate wildlife population using inventories

Estimating wildlife population using inventories is the first step in the wildlife management process because managers need to have an accurate understanding of the population they are working with before making any decisions. Calculating losses to disease and estimating the harvest available for hunters may come later in the process, but they are not the first step. Considering economic or social objectives is also important, but it is not the first step as the population must be assessed first before any objectives can be determined.
