At which level is managing populations part of a landscape scale impact considered feasible?

Managing populations as part of a landscape scale impact is most feasible at regional and local levels. This is primarily because decision-making and resource allocation can be more specifically tailored to the unique ecological and social contexts found within these smaller scales. At regional and local levels, stakeholders are often more familiar with the specific populations and their interactions with the landscape.

Moreover, local entities typically have the authority and ability to implement management practices directly, allowing for more immediate and adaptive responses to changes in populations or habitats. Engaging with communities at these levels also fosters greater participation and collaboration, leading to more effective conservation outcomes.

In contrast, higher levels, such as national or global, may deal with broad policies that lack the granularity needed for specific local challenges, which can hinder the effectiveness of population management strategies.
