Moose will be soon killed in two national parks in Newfoundland, with officials saying that the population of animals is destroyed forests and habitat for other species.
Parks Canada should expose more details on the Wednesday of the reform that will be allowed later this year to the Gros-Morne National Park in Western Newfoundland and Terra Nova National Park in Eastern Newfoundland.
A reform of the Moose has been set for the national parks of the Gros-Morne and Terra Nova. (CBC)But Parks Canada said in a statement, comprehensive monitoring showed the health of forests parks - where hunting Moose and other animals is prohibited - is now in danger.
"Their numbers have increased dramatically since [introduction at the beginning of the 20th century] because they do not have a primary predator, there is no common diseases of moose here and the boreal forest provides an ideal habitat," said the statement.
"Today, are higher than that forests can take charge of moose populations in these national parks." As a result, areas once dominated by trees are converted to the prairie or Barrens shrub and forest diversity decreases considerably.
Officials have not yet announced how many animals is allowed to be taken in the programme, which will be coordinated in tandem with the fall annual moose hunting in Newfoundland.
Parks said similar are successfully measures involving deer in areas protected in Ontario and British Columbia Colombia.
The blow is not a surprise. In its own documentation distributed to users of the Park in recent years, Parks Canada warned of the overpopulation of the Moose and its effects on habitat.
Last year, the Crown agency said that a reform is underway.
Moose, up to 150,000 were estimated to roam the Woods and bogs of Newfoundland. The provincial government has come under fire from Moose management policies, particularly involving vehicle-moose collisions. It has launched a class action on behalf of victims of such accidents.
