Scientific Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Instructor Plans: Agriculture / Forestry / Gardening, University of Namibia , language: English, abstract: The Kaibab Plateau had a decline in deer population due to increased competition for grazing fields by cattle and a rise in the number of predators feeding on the deer. Thus, it was logical, but not prudent in the long run, to eliminate competitors and predators to the deer. As such, the population of this species rose rapidly and depleted available resources such as grass and water, eventually experiencing challenges such as diseases and death due to lack of sufficient food. Over the years of observation of the phenomena on the plateau, critical lessons about letting nature balance itself have been learned. Therefore, it is wise to consider the long term effects of any slight alterations in the ecosystem.
