Kevin Cox will talk about species recovery this evening. How science can support declining and endangered species to make a comeback. He’ll cover examples from the UK such as Bittern and Cirl Bunting but also overseas, including Vultures and Blue-throated Macaw. He will also talk about the importance of habitat creation and management as a condition for evidence-based species recovery.
