Muntjac: Managing an Alien Species

Muntjac deer have only recently started to make their presence felt in Britain, despite their introduction from Asia over a century ago. This is the first book to be devoted entirely to their proper management in this country. It explores their origins and natural history, and provides a practical approach towards lessening the impact of this secretive and truly fascinating little deer. Guidance is given on all aspects of coming to grips with an unusual and often challenging species. For those with a wider responsibility for controlling muntjac populations, there are practical management principles as well as considered thought on the muntjac’s future as an addition to our British fauna. With the muntjac already firmly established in much of England and Wales, and set to expand its range further still, this book has a place in the library of anyone with an interest in deer.
