What is Wildlife Management?

I got this class in school and have no idea what it is. Please Help! :)What is Wildlife Management?
Wildlife Management provides valuable information on the biology, ecology, management, and control of various species of wildlife (e.g., alligators, armadillos, bats, bears, beavers, birds, chipmunks, coyotes, deer, foxes, quail, mice, moles, muskrats, opossums, rabbits, raccoons, rats, skunks, snakes, squirrels, voles, wild hogs, wild turkey, woodchucks). It is also the process in protecting endangered and threatened species. What is Wildlife Management?
Wildlife management is the process of keeping certain wildlife populations, including endangered animals, at desirable levels determined by wildlife managers. Wildlife management is interdisciplinary, integrating science, mathematics, imagination, and logic. It deals with protecting endangered and threatened species and subspecies and their habitats, as well as with non-threatened agricultural pests and game species. Aldo Leopold, one of the pioneers of wildlife management, defined it as ';...the art of making land produce sustained annual crops of wild game for recreational use,'; in his 1933 book titled: Game Management.
