From the elusive black bear to the common white-tailed deer, Maine?s wildlife isn?t just monitored through harvest data, but through ground-breaking research and innovative monitoring techniques. While registration data can provide valuable insight to wildlife populations, there are often other requirements needed for improving our understanding of occurrences, distribution, and health. The 2021-22 Research and Management Report dives into the non-invasive meso-carnivore camera study, the robust surveillance for Chronic Wasting Disease prevention, an update on Maine?s Adaptive Management Unit moose hunt, the connection between natural food availability and winter den entry of black bears, and much more. |
