The Use of Hunting for Conservation in the UK with Megan Rowland

Listeners of Into The Wild will know that I am always keen to talk about topics that can often be divisive or that people will already have strong views on. This is mainly because these topics sometimes have biases from each side when being discussed in media or online. This week's episode is one of those topics. I am joined by deer stalker & land manager Megan Rowland to discuss how hunting is used for conservation purposes in the UK. Along with talking about how this works, Megan also explains the evolution of hunting in the UK & why it seems to be built around class when this isn't the case in other countries. For this episode I ask you to leave your opinions or views to one side & remember shows like this are here to add to your research & not here to change your mind.
