Deer at Chambord

Chambord is a world reference for knowledge of large wild ungulates, thanks to a strategic scientific program. Chambord is the only site in France to combine a surface area large enough to preserve the natural behavior of large animals, with a wall that prevents them from entering or leaving. This exceptional situation is complemented by a hunting and forestry service staffed by wildlife specialists, well versed in paneling techniques, who have been collecting and preserving deer data for decades. This combination of factors enables consistent, long-term monitoring of large animal populations, as well as comparisons with populations in open areas.
