Event details
About the event
Xavier has spent months in the field in Brazil tracking jaguars and giant otters. He has worked with Brazilian/National
Geographic teams researching five metre+ black caiman, 150kg+ arapaima, tucuxi and pink dolphins. The teams GPS
tagged, surveyed, measured and sampled tissues for studies from genetics up to distribution.
In this lecture Xavier speaks about some of his experiences with these animals and conservation research he has been
involved with. He focusses on the significance of alpha predators and habitat connectivity, linking these concepts to
projects being run from Bath, such as the incredible work of Rainforest Concern.
