Conservation is a field of research and practice that works to protect the environment. Despite our efforts in conservation for over a century, we are still witnessing the significant degradation of landscape through habitat and biodiversity loss. Compassionate Conservation is a new movement within conservation that tries to respond to several ethical issues within the field. We speak with Dr Arian Wallach, a key researcher in Compassionate Conservation at the University of Technology Sydney.

While looking forward to doing field work with dingoes in Australia, the evolutionary and environmental biologist Dr. Arian Wallach wasn’t quite prepared for the darker side of conservation. In this episode of MHP Arian discusses everything from the bittersweet findings of her PhD research, to the benefits of introduced species (just don’t call them invasive), the cultural importance of apex predators and the concept of environmental fascism.She explains why she’s excited about the upcoming Compassionate Conservation conference, the value of paw prints, why conservation is really about us and what the dingoes have taught her. Arian Wallach is a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Centre for Compassionate Conservation, at the University of Technology Sydney where she researches the ecological role of large predators in modern novel ecosystems.She was awarded a Churchill Fellowship and in 2015 allowing her to travel to investigate the ecological effects of losing and recovering the Earth's largest predators. Arian is also part of the team hosting the 2017 International Compassionate Conservation Conference which takes place 20 - 24 November in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia.

Do we have to choose between wildlife and cats? Before we go to a cruel & expensive war on cats, the Threatened Species Commissioner is holding a round table on this issue in a week. We speak with Lynda Stoner from Animal Liberation NSW who will be attending & play an informative discussion hosted by Mini Kitty Commune. The MKC discussion includes Arian Wallach who co-authored "Let's give feral cats their citizenship" http://theconversation.com/lets-give-feral-cats-their-citiz… http://mkc.org.au/
In the episode of Knowing Animals I speak to Arian Wallach from the Centre for Compassionate Conservation at UTS. We talk about Arian's co-authored paper ‘Promoting Predators and Compassionate Conservation’ which appeared in the journal Conservation Biology in 2015.
