On the island of Rhodes they plan to create parks (reserves) to protect deer, of which, according to the University of Thessaloniki, there are 6,284 individuals.
“According to a joint decision taken by the Ministry of Environment, the South Aegean Region and the Municipality of Rhodes, five deer parks will be created on the island to protect the animal population and save the primary sector from the damage they cause,” says the deputy governor of the primary sector Philimonas Zannetidis.
Theme park proposal presented Ministry of Environment, approved by the South Aegean Region and the Municipality of Rhodes.
The areas in which the parks will be located will be announced soon, but according to information, they will include areas in the Gaduras Dam area, Southern Rhodes, Psinthos or Apollo, and other places.
However, although according to a study by the University of Thessaloniki, the number of deer on the island is up to 6,284 individuals, local residents estimate that their actual number is much higher, perhaps even more than double.
As the deputy governor of the region emphasized, the goal of the municipality and the region is to protect deer and the “primary sector.”
