An excellent and inspiring conference on the ecology and practice of rewilding. Wish we had an organization similar to @RewildingEurope in the States.

@FancyScientist Words on Wild Things

What should I name my podcast? I want to keep Fancy Scientist, but add something after. It's going to be about wildlife + conservation for the everyday person, but I am also going to sprinkle in tips for scientists. Thinking Fancy Scientist's Wildlife Hour, but don't love it...
