Fantastic time on our field course to Freiburg & Black Forest (Germany) this week, looking at sustainable mobilities, human-nature relationships, and coexistence with a lynx reintroduction case study.

Using only low carbon transport, we saved 86% of CO2e compared to flying.

Excited for next year!

Beaver releases into wild to be allowed in England for first time in centuries Exclusive: Government to grant nature groups a licence for release of rodent species after earlier setbacks

Five years (almost to the day) since the #River Otter Beaver Trial published its Science and Evidence report, UK government is set to announce that they will grant #wild #beaver release licences in England: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

En route to a writing retreat, a privileged opportunity to develop my post-PhD thinking around human-wildlife interactions in #reintroductions.

And it's off to a beautiful start, with views of my local estuary from the train window

Enjoyed the Bearded #Capuchin using tails to access water in trees in this week's #Mammals.

I was privileged in 2019 to record, for the first time, White-faced Capuchin doing so at an open water source - we think as predator-avoidance...
