How to manage the major threat to native wildlife posed by invasive species. Are we justified in killing one animal to protect another?
About this Event

Hugh Warwick, author, photographer, ecologist and hedgehog expert, will tackle the thorny problems faced by conservationists, ecologists and land owners – how to manage the major threat to native wildlife posed by invasive non-native species. Are we justified in killing one animal to protect another? How do we prioritise species?


In his award-winning book, Cull of the Wild, Killing in the Name of Conservation, Hugh takes a deep look at some of the most controversial aspects of conservation - from the hedgehogs of the Uists to the rats of South Georgia - do we have a right to K*ll?
