•Florida's iconic Key deer face an uncertain future as seas rise
71% Informative
The world's only Key deer, the smallest subspecies of the white-tailed deer, are found in piney and marshy wetlands bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico on the Florida Keys .
For years , their biggest threat was being struck by vehicles speeding along U.S. Highway 1 or local roads.
Sea level rise is already altering the landscape of Big Pine Key and at least 20 smaller islands the deer call home.
The deer have adapted to the humans and move freely between wild spaces and neighborhoods.
By 2050 , sea rise is expected to overtake about 84% of the 805 hectares of the preferred habitat on Big Pine Key .
The deer will already be gone by 2050 , professor says.
Bergh says he prefers to buy more time to keep deer viable in Keys .
