Uk Deer Numbers Spiralling Out Of Control
Current efforts to control Britain's increasing deer numbers are not enough to stop populations spreading out of control, according to research by the University of East Anglia.
There are now more deer in Britain than at any time since the Ice Age.
Without natural predators, populations are continuing to rise, causing a serious threat to biodiversity. High numbers of deer can threaten woodland birds, carry infections such as Lyme disease, damage crops and cause road traffic accidents.
