Joe Shute & Jonathan Hollins: The Wild Side
Advertisement
Step into the animal kingdom, with nature writers Joe Shute, author of Stowaway: The Disreputable Exploits of the Rat, and Jonathan Hollins, renowned as the Vet at the End of the Earth.
In this lively event, Shute and Hollins will share stories from their adventures in the wild, from the antics of the rat to the remote landscape of the British Overseas Territories where Hollins practices veterinary medicine and looks after the world’s oldest living land animal, Jonathan the Giant Tortoise. They’ll discuss the marvellous and misunderstood creatures of the natural world, as well as the challenges of conservation.
Telegraph journalist Joe Shute will take you on a journey through urban and rural landscapes, exploring the hidden lives of rats and their interactions with humans. With wit and insight, he brings to light the unexpected adventures and lessons learned from studying these remarkable creatures.
Jonathan Hollins, with his unique perspective as a wildlife vet, will recount his incredible adventures from the far corners of the earth. From treating exotic animals to navigating the challenges of working in extreme conditions, his stories are both inspiring and enlightening.
Shute and Hollins bring to life the wonders of our natural heritage for nature enthusiasts or those interested in wildlife conservation.
