Mark Farnworth, from the Department of Natural Sciences at Unitec Institute of Technology in Auckland, New Zealand, is curious about cats.
Cats as pets and cats as pests. Are cats a threat to biodiversity or are they possible caretakers of biodiversity?
This interview was fascinating, and the topic complex, so we are releasing it in two parts.
In this – part one – we introduce Mark’s research examining the issues, impact and attitudes toward free roaming (both owned and unowned) cat populations in New Zealand.
Part two can be found here.
