In Norway reindeer "equipped with" reflectors

In some countries, for example, in Estonia, every resident and tourist should carry at least one subject which reflects the light — it is necessary that the drivers had seen the pedestrians in the dark. But on country roads the danger is not people, but animals — they are not rarely shot down on the roads. And signs don't always help.





So, for example, to protect the deer from collisions with cars, the Norwegian authorities began to put on their horns reflectors in the form of stickers. Has developed special reflectors of biodegradable material based on corn and harm neither animals nor nature.





Officials proposed the project in 2010, but to realize it will only now. Experts will need to "mark" the reflectors are close to 10 000 deer is not all livestock animals, but as scientists say, you can just mark a part of the herd, let the rest of the deer has started to stay on them. Currently in Norway, about 200,000 deer.
