Another grant screwing opportunity for fake conservationists?

Are there no trees, birds or insects in China because of the muntjac?
Of course there are. Man made pollution, abstraction and habitat loss is far
more likely to imperil birds and trees, etc., in China than the Muntjac.
Muntjac deer at large in the UK will (of course) influence (alter) the
ecosystems with which they interact, and some people fear that the effect
will be one they don't particularly want. Hence, they want to manage it -
this is the anthropocene era, after all ...
Yes. As I said, "another grant screwing opportunity".
However, I think the nature control brigade will get a rude awakening
in the future when nature starts to control the human population.
Putting my nit-picking hat on, I note the article says :-
"Britain's only other native deer, the red deer, now number 15,000."
Current estimates of the British red deer pre breeding population are around
360,000. Perhaps 15,000 is the current estimate of the red deer population
in England and Wales?
That's "experts" for you!

All truth passes through three stages:
First, it is ridiculed;
Second, it is violently opposed; and
Third, it is accepted as self-evident.
