An Application of MOP and GP to Wildlife Management (Deer)

The case study presented in this paper has been developed after several years of spreadsheet-based model and trial and error analysis for game management in Southern Spain. The experience gained in this applied planning permitted the authors to make a model for the average managerʹs criteria. This research proves that management models can be improved by using multicriteria approaches, especially when a satisfactory combination of methods is employed. First, an efficient set is generated for analysing the conflict between economic and ecological objectives. Second, a lexicographical GP model obtains the management plan.
