The necessity of population control (In the case of Deer and Forestry)

Gone are the days of having bears, wolves and lynx roaming the native landscape.
Unfortunately, this means deer now effectively have no natural predator (other than humans), and with increasingly temperate winters due to climate change, an abundance of year-round available food sources, additional young are born with an increasingly higher chance of first year survival. This results in all six deer species in the UK (Red, Roe, Sika, Fallow, Roe and Muntjac) causing considerable amounts of damage to farmland, forestry, ecology and wider biodiversity and nature conservation.
In short - the natural environment is struggling. English Woodlands Forestry tells us how they are working on managing these growing numbers.
