Survey and monitoring methods for furbearers
February 9, 2024
There is a continuing need to assess the state (distribution and abundance) of furbearer populations throughout North America for state and provincial agencies to properly manage furbearers. With an expanding human population and continued changes in land-use practices, habitat loss and fragmentation, declines in natural prey, increases in disease transmission from domestic species, and increased competition with other species, many wildlife agencies have placed the management and conservation of some furbearer species as a top priority. Paramount to making informed decisions regarding management of furbearer populations is accurate information on their current distribution and population status.
