Due to the growing public opposition to the use of traditional, lethal methods for mitigating human-wildlife conflicts, wildlife managers are now exploring the use of innovative, nonlethal fertility control methods for managing wildlife populations. This presentation will illustrate the important roles that veterinarians are playing in the development and advancement of this emerging field of wildlife management.
Program Agenda:
- General understanding about the major fertility control agents and surgical methods currently used to manage free-roaming wildlife populations. both surgical and non-surgical.
- Detailed information on the use of surgical and non-surgical methods to sterilize and/or contracept white-tailed deer in urban landscapes in the US
- Discussion of the critical roles that veterinarians serve in the development and implementation of wildlife fertility control research and/or management projects as well as efforts to educate the public, policymakers and the public
