Possums in Aotearoa (NZ)

Sunday, 13 February 2022 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Emily with Dobby (Possum)

Listen back to this episode to hear what has happened ever since settlers brought the brushtail possum to Aotearoa (New Zealand). Our guest is Emily Major, a PhD Candidate at Canterbury University in Christchurch. She studies how possums are violently framed as pests, persecuted and exterminated in the region.
