Captive Reintroductions with Pete Cooper

<p style="text-align:center;">"LET'S JUST GET THEM BACK IN THE WILD!" Sure, it's an easy sentence to say & definitely easy to believe but, how easy is it? This week I chat with with ecologist & naturalist Pete Cooper about how animals can go from enclosures, to the wild.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">Pete goes into great detail of the reasons why we look at reintroductions of a species & what part that can play in the local ecosystems. I also ask Pete what animals he is most optimistic about making a comeback to the wilderness of the UK.</p> <p style="text-align:center;">If you'd like to keep up to date with the project, you can do so on Twitter & Instagram <a href='https://twitter.com/petemrcooper?lang=en'>@PeteMRCooper</a> / <a href='https://www.instagram.com/wildpetecooper/'>@wildpetecooper</a></p> <p style="text-align:center;">To follow us on social media visit <a href='https://twitter.com/intothewildpod?lang=en'>@intothewildpod</a> for Twitter & <a href='https://www.instagram.com/intothewildpodcast/'>@intothewildpodcast</a> for Instagram.
