Before an individual can evaluate wildlife habitat and make management recommendations, some basic concepts about habitat and its relationships to different wildlife species should be understood. In this chapter, some of the basic concepts will be described; mainly analyzing of habitat alterations, landscape analysis, networking and creation of corridor between protected areas, wildlife habitat suitability analysis using Remote Sensing & GIS. Since most of the contest will be based on these concepts. Like other natural resource fields, wildlife management is both an art and science that deals with complex interactions in the environment. This means that management includes art or judgment based on experience as well as sound factual information based on scientific studies.

Geographic information system-based multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) is a process of decision making where geographical data and value judgments are integrated. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is a useful technique in MCDA for determining weights. This study focuses on the evaluation of GIS-MCDA using different uncertainty levels in AHP. Best suitable sites for tiger habitats are located and analyzed in Sariska Wildlife Reserve, India using crisp and fuzzy AHP in GIS-MCDA, and thereafter, an optimal habitat suitability model is proposed. The percentage deviation over the uncertainty levels ranges slightly over 5%. The relative difference between CAHP and FAHP is nearly 2.7%. Chi-square test reveals relationship between the degree of uncertainty and the difference between the maps. For real-world situations with increased variability, fuzzification is preferred and shows the best results. The worldwide declining status of the tigers is a serious threat to the overall biodiversity, and the methods adopted in this study thus target their conservation and management.

Along with the development of marine economy, west bank of Laizhou Bay, efficient and economical core area, suffered some degree of damage, and local habitats of <em>Suaeda heteroptera </em>were correspondingly affected. Using geographic information systerms (GIS) technology and HIS model, analysis on habitat suitability of<em> S. heteroptera</em> in tital wetlands of Lanzhou west bank. The results show that: Although high soil salinity in the study area, and serious petroleum and heavy metal pollution, the regional environmental conditions meet the basic survival and growth requirement of <em>S. heteroptera</em>, because its strong salt tolerance, as well as petroleum and heavy metal absorption and accumulation ability, consequently, <em>S. heteroptera</em> can be relatively normally grow in this habitat. Generally, Laizhou Bay is a highly or moderate suitable area for <em>S. heteroptera</em> growth.
