Welcome to ITW shorts, the first in a new series of short shows, diving into the world of wildlife science and conservation. We are escaping today, in our minds at least, to the coast of British Columbia, to the archipelago of Haida Gwaii. I pick up a story with Dr Jason Goldman, looking at the re-introduction of expatriated wild sea-otters, and the implications of their return on local communities and the eco-system.

With heated debate on the deer working group report, and a potential sweeping shift in how we manage the Scottish landscape for deer, I am joined by ecologist Dr Linzi Seivwright, who has worked closely with local deer management groups over a number of years. Discussion drifts to cover other projects she has worked on, as we talk about grouse population cycles, kinship theory, the climate emergency, woodland restoration, temporal displacement of populations, and the need to have a landscape-scale approach with regard to management. We also delve into a species of crow previously thought to be extinct, and the re-discovery of a lost population of deer on a remote island.
I speak with the only full-time gamekeeper in Northern Ireland, Alex Rodgers, about an ambitious project to restore a moorland to its historic, thriving state. Recent winners of the gold Purdey Award for conservation, Alex works for the Irish Grouse Conservation Trust, involved in an array of research with collaborating NGOs and scientists to determine the long term conservation of these upland areas in a way which protects the eco-system, and allows wildlife to thrive alongside humans.

We deep drive into fluvial systems, naturalisation, integrated catchment management and all things related to the conservation of our waterways. I am joined by Dr Rebecca Wade, senior lecturer in environmental sciences at Abertay University. We hear about her journey in the sciences and work in North America, and how knowledge in urban restoration is being applied to rural rivers systems here in Scotland. We cover the importance of nature and the great outdoors for our health, green prescriptions, the expeditions of Captain Scott, and Rebecca's own upcoming adventure to Antarctica.

From a snowy Montana, we interview Ben O. Williams, a legend in upland bird hunting, and author of numerous books. From Yellowstone biologist to his long career as a teacher, we hear about his love of fish and fishing, as well as his affection for Brittany spaniels. Our discussion spans from the imperilled sagebrush habitat to his role in Trout Unlimited and the designation of the Lee Metcalf Wilderness area. A wonderful interview with a fascinating man.
