摘要

For the realization of a wise game management in the Land of Schleswig-Holstein (Northern Germany), the hunting association of Schleswig-Holstein in collaboration with the Institute of Biogeography of the University of the Saarland is implementing a computer - based wildlife management system to monitor game and endangered species. Main aim of this system is to monitor, analyze and visualize the distribution, the quantity and the possible chorological changes of game and endangered species to establish a valid data basis for political discussions related to hunting, agriculture and nature preservation.
