Reidinger and Miller argue that, in recent years, the rate of undesirable human-wildlife interactions has risen in many areas, owing in part to the expansion of residences into places formerly wild or agricultural, making wildlife damage management even more relevant. From suburban deer eating gardens and shrubs, to mountain lions threatening pets and people, to accidentally introduced species outcompeting native species, Reidinger and Miller show how proper management can reduce wildlife damage to an acceptable, cost-effective level. An extensive section on available resources, a glossary that explains terms and concepts, and detailed figures will aid both students and seasoned professionals. Instructors will find this text arranged perfectly for a semester-long course. The end-of-chapter questions will allow students to ponder the ways wildlife damage management concepts can be put into practice.

USDA conducts an animal damage control program that employs an integrated pest management approach to prevent or reduce wildlife damage to agriculture, natural resources, facilities and structures, and for the safeguarding of public health and safety. This programmatic EIS examines 13 alternatives ... the analyses focus on the wildlife species affected, losses associated with wildlife damage, societal values or attitudes, and impacts on biological, economical, and physical aspects of the human environments. The Current Program Alternative, which uses an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to address wildlife damage problems, is the preferred alternative.
