Ebo Forest and Invasive American Mink
Listen now
Description
Welcome to episode 9, part 2 of Zoology Ramblings with Emma and Robi. This is a continuation from part 1 of episode 9. In this episode we talk about the Ebo Forest in Cameroon and the incredible biodiversity of animal life which is supported there. We also talk about threats to this forest and how public pressure can be important in lobbying governments to change. We also talk about the invasive American Mink which has exploded in numbers here in the UK and across Europe. This mink is threatening native species like the water vole and is partly responsible for driving the European mink to the brink of extinction across its range.  https://whitleyaward.org/winners/community-protection-of-the-great-apes-of-ebo-forest/  We hope you enjoy this latest ramble!  Thank you Allie for the wonderful piano tune :)
