The reviews presented in previous chapters reveal substantial gaps in our knowledge about marten, fisher, lynx, and wolverine. These gaps severely constrain our ability to design reliable conservation strategies. This problem will be explored in depth in Chapter 7. In this chapter, our objective is to discuss management considerations resulting from what we currently know (and don't know) about these four forest carnivores. The authors of each species chapter have summarized the current state of knowledge about the biology and ecology of each species. Management considerations might lead to modifications or restrictions in the way these species or other resources are managed, given that the conservation of one or more forest carnivores is a management objective. As appropriate, we will compare and contrast management considerations for all four species and identify management considerations that apply to the population status or habitat quality for two or more species at the same time. These discussions should not be interpreted as management recommendations. Rather, we intend to broadly address management activities likely to influence the persistence of forest carnivore populations. The information we have drawn upon is limited and often derived from studies conducted over brief time periods with insufficient replication and small sample sizes (see Chapter 1 for further discussion of these limitations). All of the forest carnivores are trapped for their fur within some portion of their geographic range. Because of their status as furbearers, these species require population management involving the regulation of trapping seasons and harvest levels. We will not ignore the need for management of this significant source of mortality, but our primary focus in this chapter will be on the management of habitat. Clearly, habitat management cannot be expected to maintain or increase population levels where trapping pressure is not carefully regulated. It is our hope that an increased awareness among all managers about the conservation status and habitat needs of these carnivores will foster improved cooperation. Federal agencies are responsible for managing much of the habitat occupied by these furbearers. State and provincial agencies are responsible for regulating trapping. These responsibilities cannot be isolated by these agencies if successful conservation strategies are to be developed.
