Understanding the impacts of recreational activities on wildlife is significant for developing strategies that minimize disturbances to natural habitats. Common activities like hiking, off-road vehicle use, and camping can lead to habitat degradation, altered animal behaviors, and increased stress on wildlife populations. By studying these interactions, managers can impose guidelines that ensure recreational enjoyment while protecting ecosystems. Raising public awareness about responsible practices fosters a conservation ethic and promotes coexistence between humans and wildlife, essential for maintaining biodiversity and ecological integrity.
