183: Are European Pond Turtles Native to the UK? | Celtic Rewilding - AAH
Harvey Tweats and Tom Whitehurst are the founders of Celtic Rewilding (formally known as Celtic Reptile & Amphibian). In this episode, we are joined by Harvey to discuss the prospect of rewilding in the English landscape with a focus on their current project aimed at reintroducing the European Pond Turtle to the wild after being locally extinct over 2000 years ago. Harvey walks us through thousands of years of ecological change and extinction, the ethics of rewilding, creating a world where both humans and nature thrive, and much more!
