Wildlife is endangered by human activities as never before and species extinctions threatens the biosphere and our own future well being. Renowned wildlife biologist David Woodruff will illustrate the use of new genetic methods in the management of threatened and endangered species, and show how the process of genetic erosion in fragmented populations compromises the future of even protected populations.
