The University team at the Centre for Resilience in Environment Water and Waste (CREWW) was happy to announce today an upcoming event focused around the impacts of rewilding in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, hosted on Streatham Campus in the Forum Auditorium on 13th March, will include panel members Derek Gow, Alastair Driver and Richard Morely as they delve into the fascinating history of the wolf in Britain, and take a look at what rewilding the wolf might look on these shores and what the challenges are to bringing the wolf back to the UK. Following the discussion there will be chance for an audience Q&A, as well as a book signing for Derek Gow\u2019s new book Hunt for the Shadow Wolf<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derek Gow<\/strong> is a farmer, nature conservationist and the author of the new book Hunt for the Shadow Wolf<\/em>, as well as Bringing Back the Beaver<\/em> and Birds, Beasts and Bedlam<\/em>. Born in Dundee, he left school when he was 17 and worked in agriculture for five years. Inspired by the writing of Gerald Durrell, he jumped at the chance to manage a European wildlife park in central Scotland in the late 1990s before moving on to develop two nature centres in England. He now lives on a 300-acre farm on the Devon\/Cornwall border, which he is in the process of rewilding. Derek has played a significant role in the reintroduction of the Eurasian beaver, the water vole and the white stork in England. He is currently working on a reintroduction project for the wildcat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof Alastair Driver<\/strong> is one of the UK\u2019s best-known conservationists and 2022 and 2023 he was included in the ENDS Power List of the top 100 UK environmental professionals who have made the greatest impact in the UK over the previous two years. Alastair was also the recipient of the world\u2019s largest environmental award \u2013 the International Riverprize – on behalf of the Thames, in 2010. He is one of the country\u2019s leading proponents of rewilding and is an expert naturalist and ecologist with 45 years of professional experience and many hundreds of river and wetland conservation projects under his belt. He became the first Conservation Officer for the Thames catchment in 1984 and went on to become the National Head of Conservation for the Environment Agency for England and Wales from 2002 \u2013 2016. Since 2016, he has been the Director of Rewilding Britain and plays a key role in influencing government environmental policy at the highest level and advising on rewilding projects across England and Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard Morley<\/strong> is the director and co-founder of the Wolves and Humans Foundation, a UK-based charity dedicated to conservation of Europe’s large carnivores – wolves, bears and lynx. He has over 25 years of experience in large carnivore conservation since starting out at the Iberian Wolf Recovery Centre in Portugal. The work of the Foundation focuses on resolving conflicts between large carnivores and rural communities to encourage tolerance and co-existence, as well as carrying out monitoring and research to provide a sound basis for conservation and management decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
