What humans need to do to keep the world full of wildlife. A talk with author Charles Foster.

Charles Foster’s books Being A Beast, The Screaming Sky and Cry Of The Wild depict, in detail, the lives of wild animals, from Somerset's eels, to Swifts and Orcas, and how we humans have severely impacted upon them all. In his talk Charles will draw on material from these three books and look at what sort of actions we humans need to take to help keep the world full of wildlife.

Charles is a writer, traveller, veterinarian, barrister and philosopher. He’s known for books on a wide range of subjects from natural history and evolutionary biology to philosophy and ethics. The talk will cover themes from Being a Beast - about animal senses; The Screaming Sky - swift conservation and ecology; and Cry of the Wild - the need for conservation of the animals under threat from human impact across the globe, including the eel populations of the River Parrett.

The talk will be followed by Q&A and a chance to buy signed copies of Charles’s books.

Friends of the Quantocks, the conservation charity for the Quantock Hills in Somerset, is 75 years old this year. This event is part of our celebrations. Come and join us!
