HISTORY AND STATUS OF MOOSE IN THE ROSTOV REGION, RUSSIA
Moose (Alces alces) disappeared from the Rostov region in the 19th century due to agricultural development, hunting, and deforestation. They reappeared in the second half of the 20th century due to broad conservation measures including intensive forest management, and by the 1970s numbered >1000...
