More Information
Too many elephants? (Dr Vicky Boult – University of Reading)
Too many elephants? Surely not. We hear all the time of the terrible plight of elephants: poached for their ivory tusks, hunted for their trophies, plagued by drought… So why are some countries proposing to cull elephants? In this talk, Dr Vicky Boult will present the complex realities of managing elephant populations across Africa. From conservation efforts to restore lost elephant populations to the frontline of human-elephant conflict, and even elephant vasectomies! Join Vicky for a deep-dive into all things elephant, and a reality check on real-world conservation.

Time: 7pm until late (talk starts at 7.30pm)
Venue: Downstairs @ Zero Degrees (Reading)
