This week's Wildlife Matters Podcast delves into the urgent issue of Stag hunting, which continues in the West Country of England, and how stag hunters have been evading the law.

In Wildlife Matters Investigates, we return to the upland moors of Northern England and ask the question: Grouse Moor conservation - Can we believe them?

As promised, here is the link to the study on the Genomic epidemiology of Mycobacterium bovis infection in sympatric badger and cattle populations in Northern Ireland. This research is crucial in understanding the impact of wildlife on livestock health, a topic we often discuss in our podcast.
