Wildlife and Habitat Studies 10, 20, 30

(a)	Research the purpose and function of wildlife rescue and rehabilitation organizations in Saskatchewan.
(b)	Define “capture myopathy” and identify its symptoms.
(c)	Outline steps that can be taken to prevent capture myopathy from occurring in wildlife.
(d)	Explain the negative impact of imprinting on young wildlife and the risks (e.g., no fear of humans, territorial behaviour and difficulty interacting with their own species) when young wildlife imprint on humans.
(e)	Explore humane ways of coping with “nuisance” wildlife, such as: deterring or hazing the animals with unpleasant smells (e.g., cider vinegar), sounds (e.g., music, air horn) or bright lights; sealing off any denning areas; and, using repellants.
(f)	Explain why relocation of wildlife is an ineffective method for dealing with “nuisance” wildlife, including: wild animal babies left orphaned when their mother is trapped and removed; danger to the relocated animal in other animals' territory; and, difficulty finding food, water and shelter in unfamiliar areas.
(g)	Describe how seeking alternatives to euthanizing an injured animal is an act of stewardship.
