MANAGEMENT
Introduction
Pest animals are but one of a number of land use and other factors that can cause damage to human interests be they economic, environmental or social. Successful management of the damage due to pests requires a strategically planned and integrated approach that considers and, where appropriate, addresses the other major factors that are contributing to the damage. Examples of other factors are weeds, soil acidity, salination and soil erosion.
Because of the varying concerns and attitudes towards pests, a local/regional pest animal management plan is unlikely to be successful unless the full range of interests and concerns are identified and the relevant groups and individuals are fully consulted and cooperatively involved in the preparation and implementation of the plan.
