Abstract
Moose were introduced to Newfoundland in 1904 and since then the population has increased drastically, reaching an estimated 150 000 at its peak in the late 1990s. In some locations the population density can reach up to 7 moose per square kilometer, the highest anywhere in the world. Due to the high density of moose, the forest ecosystem has suffered by not allowing the regeneration of young trees, causing detrimental impacts to the environment. Through the study of moose hunting, fencing, wildlife crossings and movement corridors as mitigation techniques to the high densities of moose in Newfoundland, the goal is to create a sustainable and healthy population.
