April 12, 2017
“Should I take a selfie with a wild animal?” It’s a question that you may have asked yourself on holiday. Tourist attractions that offer interactions with wild animals can have great benefits: they provide jobs, educate tourists, and benefit species conservation and animals’ welfare. But many have negative impacts, on individual animals, and on their species. With no global regulation, it’s up to tourists to tell the difference. This podcast – based on WildCRU’s recent research in the area – shows you the problem, and how to spot a bad attraction: http://www.oxfordsparks.ox.ac.uk/content/should-i-take-selfie-wild-animal
