Dr Forsyth leads deer research at the VPRU, working closely with Drs Andrew Bengsen and Sebastien Comte. David’s research projects are funded from a variety of sources including NSW DPI’s Game Licensing Unit, the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions (CISS), the Australian Research Council (ARC), the National Environmental Science Program (NESP), NSW Local Land Services, and the New Zealand Department of Conservation. These projects focus on improving our understanding of the social, environmental and economic impacts of wild deer, and identifying cost-effective solutions for managing deer and their impacts. Field work is being conducted in collaboration with local agencies in NSW, QLD, ACT, VIC, and TAS. To undertake this research David and his team are collaborating with researchers at Biosecurity Queensland, James Cook University, the University of New South Wales, University of Wollongong, the ARIER, the University of Tasmania, Biosecurity South Australia, and the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development.
