37. The Musk Ox

The Conservationists Assemble is back with volume 37! And I've got to say this is one of my all time favourite species. 

Welcome to the Conservationists Assemble. The podcast that seeks to unite with earths mightiest conservation heroes to raise the profile of our planet’s most threatened species by putting the spotlight on the fantastic work of both in situ and ex situ conservation organisations and highlighting the link between them as well as asking those important questions of what more can and needs to be done.

I am your host, Captain Conservation a.k.a. Jonny Bloxham, and I am inviting you to become a conservation avenger as we take the fight to earth’s biggest villain and my arch nemesis, extinction. This week I've teamed up with Dr. Christina Hvilsom, geneticist at Copenhagen Zoo to discuss the monitoring of the effects of climate change on the worlds Musk Ox as well as the vital role genetic research has to play in conservation.

Will you join the fight?
