Speaker: Hugh Warwick, Ecologist and author
Abstract: Killing for conservation is contentious. Researching this book has been a challenge, requiring me to dip toes into unfamiliar waters – speaking to people I do not normally spend time with, such as philosophers and game keepers! The plot spoiler is that there are no simple answers. But the process of writing this book has, I hope, encouraged me to think better … the talk will dig into some of that thinking, illustrated by case studies.
Biography: Hugh Warwick is an author and ecologist with a particular passion for hedgehogs. Currently writing his 12th book, he has tended to spend time either digging into conservation issues, such as killing for conservation or habitat fragmentation, or enjoying popular science monographs on British mammals.
