Event details :

We are pleased to announce that the next Forest, Climate, and Society Seminar will welcome Frank Jensen, Professor at IFRO (Denmark), who will be visiting UMR BETA. His presentation is entitled:

« A Cost-Benefit Analysis of Alternative Management Strategies for Red Deer in Denmark  ».

 

The seminar will take place on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at 2 p.m., in Room Jacamon 2 (AgroParisTech Nancy).

 

Abstract: In the presented study, we conduct a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of five alternative management strategies for red deer in Denmark: free harvest, trophy hunting, maximum harvest and two cases for natural demographic population compositions. To capture the outcome under each strategy we use a biological sex- and age-structured population model. The net benefit function includes meat values, recreational values, browsing damage costs and traffic damage costs and these values and costs are assumed to differ for the various sex and age classes of red deer. We show that the maximum harvest strategy leads to a reasonably high positive total net benefit, while the free harvest strategy yields a small positive net benefit. On the other hand, the trophy hunting strategy generates a high negative net benefit, while small negative net benefits are obtained under the two strategies for natural demographic population compositions.
