The presence of “ghost moose” haunting the woodlands of northeastern North America has raised concern about the future of the iconic animal, including in southern New Brunswick where there has been a noticeable decline in population.
Dr. Joe Nocera, assistant professor of wildlife management with UNB’s Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Management, is leading the New Brunswick portion of a joint study with Quebec that will look into populations of the large ungulates and try to understand what is driving down numbers in some areas.
