    Wendell Seabrook gave a Ted Talk about the problems caused by deer overpopulation, including crop damage, car collisions, and disease spread. Each year around 1 million deer die in vehicle collisions costing $4 billion in damages, and 200 fatal human accidents also occur. Deer overpopulation has led to higher rates of Lyme disease in some states, though population control efforts have helped lower disease numbers. The talk suggested wildlife management techniques like culling, hunting, and reintroducing predators as ways to prevent overpopulation and protect resources from being overconsumed by deer populations.

    Look for deer before you steer

    TEDXCCS:

    In my Ted Talk I explain the


    problems of Deer
    Overpopulation. When we look
    at the problems of deer
    overpopulation, we focus on
    crop damage, car collisions and
    diseases spreading. Each year,
    about 1 million deer die from
    vehicle collisions. The price of
    vehicle damage each year is
    about 4 billion dollars. Not only
    do people have to pay a lot of
    money, but 200 fatal accidents
    happen also annually because
    of deer. Deer also spread Lymes
    disease. In some states, such
    as Connecticut, officials reduce
    the population of deer and
    studies show that the number of
    Lymes disease has lowered.
    Ways we can prevent deer overpopulation is wildlife management. Other types of wildlife management is culling, hunting, and
    releasing predators. After all, if we don't pay attention to the potential dangers of deer overpopulation, our valuable resources will
    be consumed by them not us.
