This is a web unit about alternative wildlife managements. Not really, for that would require intensive comparisons and I see no reason to elaborate on aspects of alternatives that have little or no merit. It is a statement of an alternative, the best that I can formulate after 50 years of working in the field and committing my life-thought to it. Biased, a polemic, or other invective, at least this unit present one position as clearly as possible so that other alternatives may be compared to it.

The elements of the alternative will be brought out within each unit of this site but some of the keys elements are...

• using a systems approach
• attempting to model and optimize total systems
• using the 5 E's of ecology, economics, esthetics, and enforcement
• using computers to enhance decision making
• using expert system concepts
• developing dynamic planning systems
• exploring enterprise-based work
• seeking alternative means of knowledge-base building
• developing dynamic geographic (and related)information systems
• using non-linear concepts
• giving attention to simple rules (artificial intelligence)
