Book Synopsis

LONGLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR WRITING ON CONSERVATION

Investigating the ethical and practical challenges of one of the greatest threats to biodiversity: invasive species.

Hugh explores the complex history of species control, revealing the global movement of species and the impacts of their presence. Combining scientific theory with gentle humour in his signature style, he explains the issues conservationists face to control non-native animals a
