Balance: Refers to the stability of game populations within the limits of their natural habitat, ensuring survival without exceeding capacity.
-
Biological Surplus: Indicates the reproductive potential of wildlife, vital for maintaining healthy populations annually.
-
Carrying Capacity: Defines the maximum number of animals that a specific habitat can sustainably support throughout the year.
-
Conservation: Involves the wise and sustainable use of natural resources to prevent depletion.
-
Habitat: The natural living environment for a plant or animal, composed of food, water, cover, and space.
-
Limiting Factors: Elements that restrict or influence the carrying capacity of species in their habitats, impacting their survival.
-
Preservation: Focuses on the non-use or protection of natural resources, aiming to maintain their existence.
-
