    In this special episode of The Roar, Sean Kilkenny, Lead of Advocacy and Deer Management at the Australian Deer Association, takes over the host's chair to dive deep into some groundbreaking research commissioned by the ADA. Joining him is Dr. Tim Navarde, a renowned researcher and board member of the ADA, to discuss the newly published study on the "Ecological Separation of Deer and Domestic, Feral, and Native Mammals in Tropical Northern Australia." The conversation explores the critical gaps in deer research in Northern Australia, the implications of inadequate data on current government policies, and the pressing need for evidence-based management strategies. Dr. Navarde and Sean break down the study's findings, highlight eight key areas where further research is needed, and discuss the broader ecological and economic impacts of deer and other herbivores on Australian landscapes. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in wildlife management, conservation, and the evolving debate around introduced species in Australia.
