Love science and conservation? Want to discover new ways to protect our species? Elle Kaye chats with guests who work within the science genre, but whose job titles may need a little unpacking. Strap in for entomology, taxidermy, diaphonization, pet remains, human pathology and all those that work with specimens.
Join host Elle Kaye in conversation with Dr. Sean McCormack, vet and conservationist, to discuss his work at Ealing Wildlife Group in the reintroduction project of beavers to London.
Sean talks candidly on the conflicts of species reintroduction, the ambition and aspiration of rewilding, conservation optimism, and a conversation on the wider picture of conservation.
