Deer on British roads

Partners

The need for a sustainable, safe and humane approach to management brings in a wide range of interests, public and private, statutory and voluntary. The Deer Initiative Partnership provides the framework for these interests to work together to achieve a shared vision:

The achievement and maintenance of a sustainable and healthy population of wild deer in England and Wales.

With the understanding that landscape-scale approaches should be applied more widely to land management issues, from wild boar to non-native species, biofuels and habitat networks, the model developed by the DI Partnership is becoming increasingly relevant. The Deer Initiative is a successful example of "big society" management of landscape scale challenges.
