Move Key deer

For some time it has worried me that Key deer are confined to such a small geographical area. It seems as if one good hurricane could wipe them out.

Now it looks like the screwworm might do the job.

I’d like to suggest that Key deer herds be established on other islands so it would be harder for one bad event to wipe them out.
