Oh, deer – new strategy to protect Chile’s most endangered hoofed animal

Published

on

The South Andean deer is the most endangered hoofed animal in South America

It features deep set eyes, it has distinctive fury antlers, it’s about the size of toddler and now there’s a bold new plan to save the species from extinction.

The deer’s numbers have been dwindling for quite some time now, with estimates suggesting just 1,500 remain.

The animals exist in fragmented and isolated groups, meaning they are susceptible to freak weather events while also suffering from poor genetic diversity.

Conservation efforts to save the species have recently been ramped up in Chile.

Environmental organisation Rewilding Chile has started buying areas of wilderness and grazing land in Patagonia.

In 2018 it gave 400,000 hectares of land back to the government, which will be used to create a Route of Parks connecting 17 national parks over the southern region of Chile.

At the centre of this all is a deer corridor, with the ultimate goal of restoring the interconnectivity of populations along the length of Patagonia.

While the animals will still have to battle the ongoing effects of climate change it’s hoped these corridors will give the cute animals a prosperous future.

Judge grants request to pause Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case

Special Counsel Jack Smith moves to vacate pretrial deadlines as DOJ weighs next steps after Trump’s Election Day victory.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday granted Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request to pause proceedings in former President Donald Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case.

The decision halts upcoming pretrial deadlines, allowing the Department of Justice (DOJ) time to consider next steps after Trump’s recent electoral win.

Smith’s motion filed on Friday highlighted the unprecedented situation, noting, “as a result of the election,” the DOJ seeks to vacate remaining deadlines to “assess this unprecedented circumstance.”

Judge Chutkan agreed, instructing the prosecution to submit a status report on December 2 with its proposed course of action.

The request marks a pivotal step, likely steering toward a halt in prosecution, given the DOJ’s longstanding policy against prosecuting a sitting president.

Trump’s victory, making him the first convicted felon elected to the White House, has prompted DOJ officials to deliberate on how best to close Smith’s two federal cases against him.

Had Trump lost the race against Vice President Harris, the former president could have faced potential prison time.

However, this Election Day win likely shields him from criminal consequences while in office.
