Taking a fresh look at the role of vets in wildlife conservation. Richard Kock has spent over 20 years in the wildlife field attached to the Zoological Society of London working on animal health programmes around the world.
He is one of the worldâs leading authorities on the subject of wildlife. In this Vetpulse.tv LIVE lecture, Richard challenges students at the Royal Veterinary College, London, to consider wildlife conservation as part of a holistic approach to the ecological problems associated with human population growth and global warming.
He argues that traditional zoos are not the appropriate way to tackle these issues and that the way forward lies in a radical change of mindset by âdeveloped nationsâ â and especially the vets who live in them â to better share precious resources and encourage an enlightened approach to the vital role played by wildlife in the well-being of a sustainable environment.
