  • Setting population-size targets for geese causing socio-economic conflicts

    Open AccessFred A Johnson, Henning Heldbjerg et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2022Cited by: 1References: 26

    Most European goose populations have increased exponentially, and this has increasingly brought them into conflict with human activities. To manage this conflict, we used multi-criteria decision analysis to help set population targets for a super-abundant population of greylag geese ( Anser anser ). We relied on expert elicitation to assess the consequences of varying goose abundance on nine ecological, economic, and societal objectives. Represen…

  • Implementation of the first adaptive management plan for a European migratory waterbird population

    Open AccessJesper Madsen, James Williams et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2017Cited by: 10References: 39

    An International Species Management Plan for the Svalbard population of the pink-footed goose was adopted under the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds in 2012, the first case of adaptive management of a migratory waterbird population in Europe. An international working group (including statutory agencies, NGO representatives and experts) agreed on objectives and actions to maintain the population in favourable …

  • Confronting dynamics and uncertainty in optimal decision making for conservation

    Open AccessByron K Williams, Fred A JohnsonARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    The effectiveness of conservation efforts ultimately depends on the recognition that decision making, and the systems that it is designed to affect, are inherently dynamic and characterized by multiple sources of uncertainty. To cope with these challenges, conservation planners are increasingly turning to the tools of decision analysis, especially dynamic optimization methods. Here we provide a general framework for optimal, dynamic conservation …

  • Protocol and Practice in the Adaptive Management of Waterfowl Harvests

    Open AccessFred A Johnson, Fred Johnson et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology1999

    "Waterfowl harvest management in North America, for all its success, historically has had several shortcomings, including a lack of well-defined objectives, a failure to account for uncertain management outcomes, and inefficient use of harvest regulations to understand the effects of management. To address these and other concerns, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began implementation of adaptive harvest management in 1995. Harvest policies are…
