Nature Night

Reptiles are becoming increasingly popular as pets, with more people in UK having pet reptiles than guinea-pigs or hamsters. As reptile ownership continues to increase, there has been an associated rise in the prevalence of poor reptile health and welfare. This reflects a lack of scientific evidence underpinning the necessary guidelines and legislation to educate members of the public about best practice. This talk will cover recent advances in our understanding of reptile welfare and aims to get you thinking about how a snake, lizard or tortoise might be feeling.

Join Alex Foxley-Wood from the University of Lincoln’s Sustainability team for an engaging discussion on the importance of rewilding and boosting biodiversity, both locally and globally. We'll explore the concept of Nature Positive Universities and learn about rewilding efforts in Lincoln, along with the crucial role of connectivity in nature. We'll also discover simple steps we can take to enhance biodiversity in our own back gardens, making a real difference for local wildlife and the environment.
