OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Seminar followed by Q&A and drinks – all welcome – join in person or online
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.
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. He is the spokesperson for the British Hedgehog Preservation Society and a regular commentator on ecological issues.
