Get ‘Em Young Part 2: The WildCRU Game: Global Carnivore Conservation

In the second part of this week’s episode, we speak to Dr. Cedric Tan, from the University of Oxford Department of Zoology’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU), which has sought to engage society with conservation through the wide communication of scientific research. Most recently, WildCRU has been developing board games to demonstrate some of the challenges faced by conservationists, the animals themselves, or the indigenous people who live with them. We find out more about the WildCRU Game: Global Carnivore Conservation, which is based on real research experiences.
