Red Deer Confirms Global Warming

The red deer is recorded in the Red Book of Sakha Republic (Yakutia) as a species inhabiting only South Yakutia. However, Valentina Stepanova, specialist of the Institute of Biological Problems of Cryolitozone, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, has discovered that the red deer persistently moves up northward. To collect this data, V.V. Stepanova has spent several years making enquiries among natives and keeping observations in the territory of the National Natural Park called "Lensky Pillars" in Central Yakutia and in the valley of the Amga River.
