BIWFC STAFF VISITS THE United Kingdom

BIWFC Advisory Committee Chair Stephanie Boyles Griffin and Managing Director Monique Principi visited the United Kingdom in late March 2023 to meet with BIWFC Europe Director Giovanna Massei in York. There they met with Professor Piran White in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of York where the BIWFC Europe office is located.

They also met with colleagues working in the wildlife fertility control field, including BIWFC grantee Professor Russell Hill at Durham University, Kay Haw, Director of the UK Squirrel Accord, and Nicholas Clark from Eurogroup for Animals. In addition they attended the International Conference on Human-Wildlife Conflict and Coexistence in Oxford where Giovanna presented the talk “The other side of human wildlife conflicts – a global perspective on fertility control to manage overabundant wildlife.”
