How to Save a Native Species

How do you save a native species from being wiped out? The White-clawed Crayfish has seen its population reduce by around 70% since the 1970s. One very big reason why is the American Signal Crayfish. We meet one of the people who is trying to change this by hatching and reintroducing the native white-claw to the UK via the Yorkshire Crayfish Forum --- This week we meet Kieran Holliday (and Troll) from Flamingo Land Resort in Yorkshire. https://www.flamingoland.co.uk/ ‪@flamingoland‬ He's going to tell us about the amazing project at the Yorkshrie Crayfish Forum: https://www.ywt.org.uk/yorkshire-cray... ‪@YorksWildlife‬ Learn more about white-clawed Crayfish, the only native UK crayfish: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrop... https://issuu.com/yorkshirewildlifetr... https://www.ywt.org.uk/yorkshire-cray... --- For the past year, we've been on a mission to learn about the world via Himayalan Balsam - an invasive plant species brought to the UK in 1839 by British colonists, who thought the flower to be beautiful and fragrant. It's also rampant. With the help of Executive Producer Wife, Phife Dog and some TV friends who's employment status is shakey at best, we'll scour the land and meet conservationists, scientists, professors and all sorts of nice people who do all sorts of amazing work. --- Music by Chaotic Great (Dan Eastick) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1KRKy...
