 Canada goose thrives while Earth’s species dwindle Some eight years after world leaders pledged to reverse an alarming decline in biodiversity by 2010, the losses keep mounting across the globe, according to a new United Nations report.Commentsview comments in forum Page 1 You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

That is the way it always has been.
Species that have the capability to adapt will thrive and fill the void left by those unable to cope with changing circumstances.
That is the way it always has been.
Exactly. Coyotes are another example.
Coyotes are like rats here... for every one you see you know there are six others out behind the tree line.
We're fortunate to have none on the island, but in Victoria, with development out in Colwood, deer have move into Esquimalt and are reproducing at an amazing rate. Rabbits are right behind them. What used to be a rare occurrence, that is seeing a deer in the neighborhood, is now a daily occurrence.

Sounds like BC needs to issue some more deer tags.
I had one in my front yard munching on my lawn yesterday, but we've always had them in numbers here.

It might not be a matter of numbers but a loss of habitat causing this which means increasing hunter quotas would be a bad thing. Typically when animals encroach on human habitats in numbers its often because their usual habitat is being lost and/or food is scarcer in those regions. BC logging and urban development might be as likely a culprit as increased fertility.

You are bang on. The massive Bear Mountain development in Langford removed a lot of habitat. It was no coincidence that the deer population exploded when the massive houses and golf course went in.
