Jared Diamond on Deer Hunting  

Diamond - Must We Shoot Deer to Save Nature.pdf
This article, written by Jared Diamond, discusses the ecological consequences of noninterference in natural areas. He goes into detail with specific examples of natural areas that have been left with no human interference, and the impending destruction that has been caused by overabundant deer populations. This article really caused me to consider the impacts of both humans and deer on land, specifically within natural preserves. ~JB
