The Impact of Wolves on Deer Population and Vehicle Collisions
The presence of wolves has led to a reduction in deer populations in areas like Yellowstone, creating a 'landscape of fear' that alters prey behavior. In Wisconsin, where wolves have reduced deer numbers, there has been a 25% decrease in deer vehicle collisions, valued at $11 million per year. Despite wolves eating some deer, their impact on lowering collisions outweighs costs incurred by farmers and hunters.
