Wildlife

• Habitat- A place or environment where species naturally established it's population
• Biodiversity- Refers to all species and living things in ecosystem
• Threatened faunal species- 42 land mammals, 127 bird species, 24 reptiles, 14 amphibians
• Ph have 3,214 species, 121 are endemic and 76 threatened
• 2007 an administrative order issued by department of environment established the list of threatened plants.
• Threatened plants- 99 critically endangered, 187 endangered, 176 vulnerable, 64 other threatened species
• Level of biodiversity- genetic diversity, species diversity, ecosystem diversity.
• Species richness- entire region
• Genetic diversity- total variety genes with single species.
• Endemic diversity- occur here and nowhere else.
• values and significance of conserving biodiversity- economic value, ecological value, cultural value, recreational value, aesthetic and ethical value, scientific value, biological value.
• Exotic or introduce- not native that has been accidentally introduced into the area.
• Invasive- species that's non-native or introduced to ecosystem and likely cause damage.
• Wildlife management- applied science and art of manipulation making natural area produce sustainable wildlife.
• Wildlife population- a group of self individual species in their naturally associated habitat.
• Wildlife conservation- dynamic social process that defines and seeks to attain wise use of wildlife while maintaining productivities.
• Wildlife as resources value- commercial value, recreational value, aesthetic and ethical value, ecological value, scientific value, biological value.
• Taxonomic group of wildlife- mammals, aves, reptiles, amphibians
• Mammals- warm blooded who feed their kids milk
• Aves- have wings
• Reptiles- lay eggs in land
• Amphibians- cold blooded who relies on the sun's warmth
• Fish- backboned animal that lived in water
• Terrestrial biomes- tropical biomes, temperate forest biomes, grassland and saunas, tundra and taiga, desert.
• Aquatic biomes- lakes and ponds, streams, oceans and seas, wetlands and estuaries.
• Habitat requirements- food, water, space, cover.
• Edge- known as ecotone an area where two habitats meets.
• Edge provide more food, water, and cover.
• Niche- describes the role of an organism plays in a comunity.
• Riparian areas- controlling the flow of the river.
• Wetlands- primary habitat of many wildlife species also the highly productive area.
• Deciduous forest- fall season can be bad for environment.
• Shoreline forest and estuaries- adapted to marine, estuarine, and forest habitats.
• Wildlife trees- living or dead that provide present or future.
• Deciduous tree- provide an important component of habitat diversity.
• Large vegetarian trees- important as future snags and course woody debris.
• Course woody debris- large woody material in the form of logs, root, wads, bark, limbs, and stamps.
• Interior forest condition- limited to the certain portions of large, undisturbed tracts.
• Forest canopy gaps- letting the sunlight reach the forest floor
• Wild life corridors- biological corridor offer possibility of linking habitats and reducing the isolation of population.
