In many U.S. states, deer are everywhere. In Wisconsin, where I live, you don't have to drive far out of town in the evening before spotting a group of whitetails running through a field or, unfortunately, across the road. Approximately one million collisions between vehicles and various forms of wildlife happen each year, and deer make up a big chunk of those accidents. But we can't just get rid of deer, so how do we get a handle on the problem? Just add wolves.
New research from a team of scientists studying wolf populations in Wisconsin found an incredible correlation between the presence of wolves and the number of collisions between vehicles and deer. When there are more wolves in an area, motor vehicle accidents involving deer go down dramatically, and not because the wolves are thinning the numbers of the animals themselves. It's an incredible finding that could help to reduce the number of deer-vehicle accidents in Wisconsin and elsewhere, and save lives in the process.
