Why do wildlife managers conduct surveys?

  1. To estimate the carrying capacity of habitat

  2. To find the most popular hunting spots

  3. To calculate the economic impact of hunting

  4. To determine the number of hunters

The correct answer is: To estimate the carrying capacity of habitat

Wildlife managers conduct surveys to estimate the carrying capacity of habitat so they can better understand the population size and health of a particular species. This information is crucial for making informed decisions about management and conservation efforts. Options B, C, and D may be considered as potential side benefits of conducting wildlife surveys, but these are not the primary reasons for conducting them. These surveys are essential for monitoring and understanding the population dynamics, which is crucial for developing effective management plans aimed at maintaining sustainable populations of wildlife.
