In this film by outdoors filmmaker Olivia Wines, we follow on from our discussion in Water Voles (Part 1) to learn more about the treats facing water voles and how to combat them. Previously, Darren Tansley took us through how to find and monitor them, whilst giving us an insight into why recording their data and whereabouts are important.<\/p>\n
Today, we look at Water Voles' biggest threat - Mink. As a non-native species, mink have been known to eradicate the water vole population by a drastic figure. In this film Darren Tansley and Louise Dennis take us though how to safely and humanely capture mink for the betterment of the UK ecosystem. They will take us through why this is necessary, and our only effective course of action to restore the UK's natural wildlife, to help restore our woodlands and wetlands.<\/p>\n
