本文探讨了实施的白尾鹿管理计划，在蓝山保护区以外的波士顿，马萨诸塞州。借鉴生物政治学的概念，我们探讨如何白尾鹿成为关注的对象，并最终在这个郊区公园的致命管理的目标。通过访谈，文件分析，并观察公众会议，我们研究的变化和争议的存在，感知和管理的鹿在公园。我们认为，鹿的管理计划的实施只是部分解释白尾鹿的数量不断增加，也必须理解的背景下，对人类健康的关注和不断变化的城市绿色空间和全球生物多样性。案例说明了伤害和护理在管理子/城市生态系统的纠缠，并强调了如何在鹿的伦理和本体论的理解的差异，努力推进多物种的城市规划造成紧张局势。
This paper examines the implementation of a white-tailed deer management program in the Blue Hills Reservation outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Drawing on the concepts of biopolitics, we explore how white-tailed deer became an object of concern and ultimately targets of lethal management in this suburban park. Through interviews, document analysis, and observation of public meetings, we examine the changes in and controversy over the presence, perception, and management of deer in the park. We argue that the implementation of the deer management program is only partially explained by the growing numbers of white-tailed deer, and must also be understood in the context of concerns about human health and shifting imaginaries of urban green spaces and global biodiversity. The case illustrates the entanglements of harm and care in the management sub/urban ecosystems and highlights how differences in the ethical and ontological understandings of deer create tensions in efforts to advance multispecies urban planning.
