Hen harriers consume red grouse...
To try and help resolve this conflict scientists are currently conducting experiments to test whether the hen harrier populations can be increased at the same time as reducing their negative impact on grouse populations. the information can be used to inform decisions about how best to conserve grouse,harriers and moorland habitats.
The experiment will be carried out in two large areas where harriers are rare. within these areas the results of two strategies on the size of the harrier and grouse population will be measured.
1.Killing the harrier chicks or moving them to different location where harrier population reaches agreed ceiling
2.providing alternative sources of food for hen harriers
Question im stuck on :O
4.suggest reason why:.........
1.the experiment will take at least 5 years to produce any findings
2.each experimental area will contain a number of different moorland sites managed by different individuals.
3.the independent body acceptable to both conservation groups and grouse managers will be needed to oversee the experiment?
4.The sites chosen for the experiment are ones where harriers can be expected to colonize really quickly?
Just these 4 little points are annoying me :S ...
If someone could help i would be more than appreciative!
Thanks xxx
