Will the Roe Deer Persist?

Will the Roe Deer Persist?


Issue: Regional


Summary: Climate change is presenting a serious problem for the Roe Deer. For its survival to continue, the spring vegetation must coincide with when the females are preparing to give birth. Due to the global warming, however, these vegetation blooms are coming earlier and earlier. A serious detriment to the ecosystem and biodiversity could be the result if this trend continues or if the deer cannot adapt. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the animals are going to be able to adapt quickly enough to survive.


Opinion: It's always sad when a species becomes extinct, but it is a part of life. I seriously hope that these deer can adapt in time to save themselves, but whether they do or not, we humans need to target the source of the problem. If we can find a way to stop global warming we can save this species and thousands of others, as well as stabilize the world in the process.
