This class contains all actions involved in directly managing species. For you literal minded people interested in drawing black lines on gray areas, the difference between land/water management and species management is defined as follows: If the action targets 2 or fewer specific species, it’s species; if it targets 3 or more, it’s land/water. For example fish ladders aimed at one salmon species fit in species recovery; fish ladders aimed at several different species fit in natural process restoration. It includes Species Management, Species Recovery, Species Reintroduction and Ex Situ Conservation as sub-categories.

This category is part of a standard classification of ‘Conservation Actions’ edited by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) and in use by all major biodiversity conservation organizations such as The Nature Conservancy, Birdlife International, Wildlife Conservation Society, and World Wildlife Fund.
