ENV_250_Final_Project.docx Decreasing Predator Over Population Final Project ENV-250 SNHU This study is being conducted to show the drastic effects of high predator populations and the way predators cause low deer and elk populations as well as agricultural lands in certain areas of the United State. Table of Contents: Page 1: Cover page Page 2: Table of Contents Page 3: Introduction/Thesis Pages 4 & 5: Research Pages 5-7: Results Pages 8 & 9: Abstract Pages 10 & 11: Resources Agricultural lands and wildlife once thrived in certain areas such as Oregon and Washington; where predator populations were controlled by the use of trained dogs and trappers, with new laws and hunting regulations put into effect the predator population has tripled in recent years. Over population of predators in the local areas are causing drastic decreases in deer and elk population as well as agricultural lands, by decreasing the predator population deer, elk, and agricultural lands will be able to grow and thrive. The Deer and Elk population growth is at an all-time low of twenty-four percent (Predator VS Prey. (n.d.)), meaning with continued predator population growth, the Deer and Elk populations will rapidly become eradicated from certain areas such as Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Between 2017-2018, wolves from the Imnaha pack in Eastern Oregon had slaughtered over 21 cattle, 2019 wolves from the same pack killed a Mule from a farmer™s land. Hunting was used as a form of predator population control whi. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
