Conservation in the 21st Century

David Craven, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust

When the conservation movement started in the 19th century, the priority was on individual species. Today, in light of climate change and ever-shifting international perspectives, how do conservation bodies think about nature conservation?

David Craven has been East Regional Manager at Yorkshire Wildlife Trust since 2018, where he and his team oversee important sites such as Askham Bog, Flamborough Cliffs, and Spurn Point.
