Feb 2009
This publication examines the status of wild deer in the UK, their ecological, economic and social impact as well as legislation on their management. It states that wild deer populations are increasing in number and geographic range in the UK. It also argues that deer are a valuable natural resource if managed sustainably, but when occurring at excessive densities, they can have negative effects on biodiversity, the rural economy, human health and safety and animal welfare.
