Biologists of Middle Earth

Fighting the War for Wargs with Dr. Christine Wilkinson


Listen Later

Our guest today is Dr. Christine Wilkinson, a carnivore ecologist whose community-led organisation has been trying to further our understanding of warg-human conflicts. With wargs now running free after their domestication at the hands of Sauron, the people of Rohan have had to find ways to deal with their fears of wargs. Christine and their team are working to understand exactly how wargs may be beneficial to people, which nonlethal conflict interventions work best against wargs, and how to combat climate change that contributes to human-warg conflict.
