In our conversation with Peter Brewitt from the University of California, Santa Cruz (currently the University of Cumbria) we dive into the history of the species as we know it, and their current conservation status and distribution. We discuss the genetic diversity of canids on the American continent, and why attempts to recover red wolves might be an endeavour that goes against nature and as such could be pointless, as it would amount to working against the natural processes.
In the second half of the show, we switch gears and talk about Peter’s fascinating research into different storylines related to the red wolf species identity presented in online discussions. This is an especially interesting piece of research for conservation-minded folks who spend long hours discussing species’ conservation on social media. The paper that Peter co-authored is titled “Red Wolf Science and Identity Storylines in an Online Discursive Community” and you can request it from the author, here: www.academia.edu/83638709/Red...
