Management of Conflicts Associated with Common Ravens in the United States

A technical review describing raven natural history and their population status, conflicts with wildlife, agriculture, and other resources, and the implications of high raven densities on our nation’s resources. This document includes management options under various regulatory mechanisms, and describes nonlethal and lethal management options, monitoring recommendations, and future research needs. It is the Service’s hope that this strategy document might guide agencies in a strategic and cooperative effort to reduce raven densities, and, consequently, their impact on wildlife, agriculture, and infrastructure.
