A recent survey by BBC Wildlife magazine listed him amongst the ten most influential living conservationists. Dr. Chris Newman is a Senior Research Associate with the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford, who joined the group back in 1991. Chris is the co-ordinator for the WildCRU's Badger Project, specialising on life-history evolution and the effects of climate change and disease on population dynamics. He collaborates extensively with other researchers internationally, particularly in Asia, and is an author of over 70 peer reviewed papers and book chapters on mustelid ecology, as well as work advocating public and corporate participation in conservation initiatives. Dr. Lauren Harrington is a Senior Researcher with the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford. Lauren has worked with a number of mustelid species that include the most endangered mustelid, once extinct in the wild - the black-footed ferret, and the most widespread invasive mustelid - the American mink. Lauren developed a passion for the mustelids during long nights spent on the prairies of Wyoming and Montana radio-tracking some of the first captive-bred black-footed ferrets to be released into the wild. Lauren first worked with the WildCRU in 1992, and joined the group in 1996. |
