Newfoundland is on the verge of losing it’s forests, all because of 11,000 moose who can’t stop eating

Introduced to Newfoundland more than a century ago as a food source, moose have surged in numbers, drastically altering the island’s forest ecosystem. The absence of natural predators allows these massive herbivores to devour young trees at alarming rates. To mitigate this issue and safeguard habitats, hunting quotas are thoughtfully managed, seeking to achieve a harmony between ecological integrity and human needs.
