概要

How can we restore woodlands to maximise biodiversity? What makes conservation research genuinely useful for the people working to protect nature? And how can you build a successful career in conservation science?

Today we're speaking with Professor Kirsty Park, Professor of Conservation Science at the University of Stirling, where she's worked for nearly 30 years.

Kirsty's research focuses on understanding how human activities affect biodiversity, and finding practical solutions to help nature recover.

She's also co-lead of the fascinating WrEN Project, which uses 150 years of woodland restoration to understand what works best for biodiversity.

In this episode, we explore what makes woodland restoration successful, the challenges posed by deer overpopulation, and how scientists can work with conservation organisations to turn research into real-world impact.

We also explore Kirsty's career journey, what it takes to become a conservation scientist, the skills and experiences that matter most, and her advice for students, career switchers and aspiring academics.

Finally, we discuss the state of conservation, the importance of communicating our successes, and why there's still plenty of reason for hope.

It's a woodlands, wildlife and wisdom episode. Enjoy.
