Episode 115: Coexisting with Large Carnivores with John Linnell

<p>Large terrestrial carnivores, like wolves, bears and lynx, are the poster children for conservation and rewilding efforts. Also, they are usually right in the epicentre of the human-wildlife conflict which always sparks emotions. That makes it easy to use them to politicize conservation.</p><br><p>In many previous podcasts, our discussions about rewilding inevitably led us to talk about the issues surrounding large carnivores. But this episode is solely dedicated to our coexistence with these predators. And that’s because today’s guest is Dr John Linnell, who conducts interdisciplinary research on the interactions between humans and wildlife to mitigate conflict.</p><br><p>John works as a senior scientist at the Department of Terrestrial Ecology at the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research and as a professor at the Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management at the Inland Norway University of Applied Science.</p><br><p>Support the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee: <a href="buymeacoffee.com/tommysoutdoors" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">buymeacoffee.com/tommysoutdoors</a></p><br><p>Recommended Books: <a href="tommysoutdoors.com/the-best-nature-books/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tommysoutdoors.com/the-best-nature-books/</a></p><p>T-shirts: <a href="tommysoutdoors.com/tommys-outdoors-t-shirts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tommysoutdoors.com/tommys-outdoors-t-shirts/</a></p><br><p>Follow Tommy's Outdoors on</p><p>Twitter: <a href="twitter.com/outdoorspodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">twitter.com/outdoorspodcast</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="instagram.com/tommysoutdoors" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/tommysoutdoors</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="facebook.com/tommysoutdoors" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/tommysoutdoors</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="youtube.com/tommysoutdoors" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">youtube.com/tommysoutdoors</a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> S
