Investigating the ethical and practical challenges of one of the greatest threats to biodiversity: invasive species.
Globally, the threat to biodiversity of invasive species is on a par with habitat loss, climate change and pollution. Tackling this isn't easy, and nobody knows that better than Hugh Warwick. As a conservationist, he loathes the idea of killing, harming or even eating animals. As an ecologist, he is acutely aware of the need, at times, to kill invasive species whose presence harms the wider environment.
How do we protect endangered native species? Which species do we prioritise? And how do we reckon with killing anything in the name of conservation? Taking a balanced approach to this emotive subject, Hugh talks to experts on all sides as he explores the impact of species control.
In his signature humorous style, he outlines the issues conservationists face in managing non-native animals and protecting native species, including grey and red squirrels on Anglesey, ravens and tortoises in the Mojave Desert, and unique cases like Pablo Escobar's cocaine hippos and the Burmese python pet trade.
