Over the summer, our team have continued to track and monitor the deer released into the wild. The good news is that they all appear to be doing well.
In the meantime, we are also planning for the next release in a few months’ time. In that release some of the deer will be fitted with GPS tracking collars (as opposed to the radio telemetry tracking collars that are currently in use). Various collars have been tested over the last year to find one that is both accurate and robust. The advantage of GPS tracking over radio telemetry tracking is that monitoring can be done from a computer terminal and reduces the need for staff to go out into the release area to track the deer physically.
We are also currently recruiting a full time coordinator for this project so that data can be collected, stored and analyzed more speedily and more accurately.
Thank you for being a part of this project– we appreciate your generosity and support!
