Dear Peers
I am looking for the literature about wildlife management in different countries. I desire to compare them with Indian system and find out strengths and weaknesses to have comprehensive management plan. Therefore, it is a humble request to you all that please provide me the relevant paper or references, if you can. Thanking you in anticipation.

Dear Peers
The first answer to my question did not serve the purpose but it gave me a hint to further clarify my question.
The possible literature on wildlife management in any country could be the legal provisions or promulgation of any Act or Rules that regulate wildlife conservation, trade, hunting etc. and commentary of any learned person on them. May be in published form in any peer reviewed journal or elsewhere. For example, in India we have Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972, Biodiversity Act 2002 etc. There are few peer reviewed papers also which discuss the implication/application of these legal provisions. I hope, in this light, you may be able to help me.

I think you should narrow down to a specific issue as there are quite a number to tackle. For starters you should read widely to specify your interest then we can send you specific researches
Thank you Joan Nyika for your response. I was looking for broader side of management not the narrow one. Anyway, there are several components of wildlife conservation like, human-wild-animal conflict, rehabilitation of inhabitants, protection of wild-animal from threats, different wild animals of varying conservation status, encroachment of habitat, wild-animal poaching, etc. Hope you will be able to help me along these lines.
Human–wildlife interactions vary on a continuum from positive to negative, in intensity from ... Retaliatory killing may also impact wildlife populations differently than other forms of hunting. https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev-environ-110615-085634
Most wildlife biologists are concerned with the conservation and improvement of habitats; although rewilding is increasingly being undertaken. Techniques can include reforestation, pest control, nitrification and denitrification, irrigation, coppicing and hedge laying. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildlife_management
Thank you so much Chinaza Godswill Awuchi for your contribution. I look forward for more support.

Thank you Nirmala S.V.S.G for your input. Could you please send some of your literature or of your colleague on the subject.
Thank you @ Monica BUTNARIU for recommending this question. Since you have vast experience in conservation and publication fields may I request you to send me some literature/ references about wildlife management in Romania or elsewhere. I shall be obliged.

wildlife definition or terms country to country different. Why?
Specific ecosystems with environments will often require different approaches. However their protection is often consistent in this world of poorly planned development, exploitation and pollution.
Hi Kaushalendra Kumar Jha I'm curious how your research went into this topic. I'm also interested in variations of management principles across countries and continents. In the US, wildlife are considered to be in the "public trust". This means wildlife belong to all US citizens, but are managed by the government. The public is considered the "beneficiary" of this trust, while the government the "trustee." If you are interested, there is a list of principles called the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation that is considered seven guiding tenants for wildlife management in the US and Canada. I'd love to hear if you found any information for other countries or regions! Thanks for starting this conversation :-)
Hi Jane Anderson Thanks. The peers, possibly, did not find the topic interesting. Anyway, could please provide me the possible links to access the model you have suggested?

Sure! There are several websites with more succinct descriptions, but this publication provides lots of detail: https://wildlife.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/North-American-model-of-Wildlife-Conservation.pdf
