Which of the following is a principle of wildlife management?

  1. Encouraging natural predation at all times

  2. Removing all predators from an area

  3. Maintaining habitats and ecosystems

  4. Focusing solely on endangered species

The correct answer is: Maintaining habitats and ecosystems

One may see that option A could potentially harm the balance of a natural ecosystem by encouraging too much predation. Option B may also have harmful consequences for an ecosystem by removing a necessary predator species. Option D may lead to endangered species recovering, but it does not address the overall health and balance of an ecosystem. Therefore, C is the best answer as it recognizes the importance of maintaining habitats and ecosystems to ensure the overall health of wildlife populations.
