During this online lecture, Tom Moorhouse, ecologist and author, will introduce you to the wonderful world of water voles, and the conservation challenges they face in Britain.

Through his own work, he will explain what conservation research actually does, why it hasn’t yet achieved the outcomes we all want and need – and why he still has hope for wildlife and our collective future.

This lecture is part of the part-time PGCert in Ecological Survey Techniques programme at Oxford University’s Department for Continuing Education.
