Human-wildlife conflict in urban environments highlights the intractable tension between our desire for a sheltered life and our commitment to animal conservation. The case of roof-nesting gulls epitomizes this tension in some of the most prosperous cities on Earth, including Dublin. Adam will discuss the causes, consequences and possible resolutions of this conflict by drawing on his research group’s findings where they have investigated the social and animal dimensions of the issue.

Adam is an ecologist at the School of Biology and Environmental Science at UCD. His research focuses on media portrayals of human-wildlife conflict, animal movement ecology and science communication.
