10th International Conference on Wildlife Fertility Control

---

This conference will gather experts, researchers and practitioners from around the world to share insights, discuss advancements and explore innovative approaches to wildlife fertility control – including UK Squirrel Accord funded research into a grey squirrel oral contraceptive.

Traditional efforts to resolve human-wildlife conflicts rely on lethal control. However, public opposition to culling is growing, mainly driven by animal welfare concerns, human safety, environmental impact of toxicants, and feasibility.

This is why fertility control, alone or in conjunction with other wildlife management options, could be the missing tool to consider when mitigating human-wildlife conflicts.

The conference will discuss contraceptive products, practical applications, public attitudes and fertility control-based solutions with examples derived from the field.
