We made this project for deer. We are doing it on deer for a couple of reasons. The first is that every other group did theirs on smaller animals like birds and squirrels. The second reason is that baby deer (fawns) get left on their own a lot when their mum's go hunting for food. When they are left on their own in the woods near roads its a big sign of danger for them because there are predators just waiting for them because they have no protection. Humans and cars are one of their biggest predators! We read a news article that took place a few years ago when a group of 17 year old's got fined £1000 due to stamping on a baby deer and killing it!

We are making a home for  fawns that may be left alone because their mum's leave to go get food. This leaves the fawns vulnerable to predators and other dangers like.... Our design for fawn shelter works as a small  den fort the fawn to fit in and feel cozy while the mum is away. The structure is covered in grass and leaves so it camouflages with with nature and is well hidden. We made this decision so that the structure does not stand out with bright colors or look unusual or out of place, appearing as natural as possible. We don't necessarily want people to know where it exactly is so the baby deer and the mum's don't feel exposed and frightened.

What we hope people will realize when they see our fawn den, is that these creatures are very vulnerable when their natural homes in nature disappear. We hope that people will feel more empathy by taking care of baby animals in the city grounds.
