Oryx, 2017 Fauna & Flora International

  • Implementation of strategies to minimize damage: use of chemical repellents,
  • dor

and visual barriers, physical barriers, dogs, alternative sources

  • f food and hunting control.
  • Push-pull systems:
  • Integration of stimuli  repellency to a resource which need to be protected + attraction to an

alternative resource with low or no commercial value. Background

  • Review of the repellency methods to minimize deer damage for a future application in the

Delta of Paraná river.

  • Interviews to forest producers.

Grande (> 200 ha) Medio (50-20 ha) Chicos (1-50 ha)

  • Damage surface:

 63,6% “a few trees”  18,2% “1/4 of the surface”  9 % “3/4 of the surface”

  • How do you considere the damage?:

 90,9% “Not so important”  9,09% “Very important”

  • Type of damage:

 Bark rubbed: 27,3%  Browsing: 9,09%  Browsing and barj rubbed: 63,6%
