dc.description.abstract | Humans have had a major impact on many animals throughout time. The historical ranges of many animals are not the same as their current ranges and most of these differences are smaller habitats. The moose (Alces alces) is just such an animal. They were driven out of the both peninsulas of Michigan by early settlers. Recently, they were reintroduced to the state. This paper will survey their management history, habitat requirements, and recommendations for management. There are over 500 moose in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The annual growth rate is over 30%. It seems that moose are well on their way to meet the goal of 1000 moose in the state by the year 2000. Management needs to be constantly revised to meet additional needs. A more detailed species management plan should also be considered. An important consideration for the future management of moose is the potential of connecting the Michigan population with those in both Wisconsin and Minnesota. | en_US |
