Mammal Damage Management

Mammal Damage Management

The United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Wildlife Services program (WS) proposes to continue the current integrated wildlife damage management (IWDM) program in the State of California to reduce mammal damage to property, public health and safety, agricultural resources, and natural resources. Wildlife Services wildlife damage management would be conducted on public and private property in California when the property or resource owner or manager requests assistance. An IWDM strategy would be recommended and use, encompassing the use of practical and effective methods for preventing or reducing damage while minimizing harmful effects of damage management measures on humans, target and non-target species, and the environment.
