Car crashes, Lyme: Deer cause havoc in NY, and population is exploding amid climate change
More than 70,000 New Yorkers suffer injuries or financial hardships after their vehicles hit deer on roads each year, with an average repair bill of $4,000.
Another 7,000 residents fall seriously ill each year with severe pain, headaches, and other debilitating symptoms of Lyme disease — caused by bites from parasitic ticks that feed on deer to survive.
New York farmers also estimated their deer-related crop damage losses to be about $59 million per year, state records show.
And these costs are expected to get worse as the warming climate allows more deer to thrive across large swaths of New York.
Threats to humans from deer — which are primary hosts of adult ticks and crucial in spreading a range of illnesses — are already playing out in communities throughout New York, Cornell University Professor Bernd Blossey said.
“The deer come to us because what we have created is perfect deer habitat,” he said, referring to the gardens, farms, parks and other deer food sources built into many communities.
But deer overabundance, in many ways, stemmed from the first half of the 20th century. At the time, state environmental measures helped replenish deer populations after rampant deforestation and uncontrolled hunting wiped out 95% of the country’s deer in the 19th century.
Yeah, so, realistically, it’s that conservation laws were changed, less deforestation, and there were not as many predators for the deer (bear, bobcat, and coyote numbers are down in NY. Wolves were almost extinct, but, are making a comeback), as well as hunting was reduced, hence, an explosion on deer. That’s not to say that the slight temperature increase around the globe hasn’t helped, but, do they really notice a 1.5F increase in 170 years?

More workers in today’s labor market want to take action on climate change in some way as part of their jobs, yet many encounter a major stumbling block: lack of understanding when it comes to their employer’s own commitment to the issue. So-called green perks, also referred to as climate change benefits, could help to bridge that gap. A rising, though still marginal trend in the job market, employee enticement and compensation packages tied to climate change can help to make these abstractions clearer and more actionable in the workplace.
