Livestreamed on the big screen at the Birks Cinema.

Join us for a public lecture with Ian Redmond OBE, one of the world’s foremost wildlife conservationists.

In this exclusive talk, Ian Redmond visits the RSE to share invaluable insights from a lifetime of work, including his groundbreaking work on conserving mountain gorillas and his pioneering study of cave mining elephants in Mount Elgon, Kenya. This event offers a unique opportunity to hear from Ian Redmond about his remarkable experiences in the field, followed by a panel discussion with Dr Afiya Holder and David Field, covering themes of wildlife conservation and management, eco-tourism, social inclusion, and international development.
