Although implementation of that option can require significant initial investment, depending on the size of the area to be protected and the value of the potential crop losses, the long-lasting control provided by fencing could be the best long-term solution. Many of these South Asian and Southeast Asian deer species also share their habitat with other herbivores, such as Asian elephants, the various Asian rhinoceros species, various antelope species (such as nilgai, four-horned antelope, blackbuck, and Indian gazelle in India), and wild oxen (such as wild Asian water buffalo, gaur, banteng, and kouprey).
