Can large carnivores become an asset rather than a liability for livestock farmers? Could there be a net benefit for farmers sharing their landscapes? ...And were wolves really single-handedly responsible for changing the shape of the rivers in Yellowstone National Park?
ffinlo Costain meets Jonny Hanson, Nuffield Scholar, and author of Living with Lynx, Sharing landscapes with big cats, wolves and bears.
They discuss the pros and cons of large carnivore reintroductions - and the choices, opportunities and costs for society as a whole.
Make sure you listen to the end, because the last question is the killer.
