'Lead The Way' campaign for wildlife-wise dog ownership w/ DOC's Laura Boren: 13 June, 2023

Last week the Department of Conservation launched its newest programme 'Lead The Way' in partnership with PD Insurance, which aims to minimise the impact of dogs on wildlife, through greater eductaion of pet-owners.

The launch took place at Kelly Tarlton's aquarium, and included an insightful discussion panel with experts such as Laura Boren, the Science Advisor for Marine Species and Threats at DOC.

The Wire producers Beth and Rosetta attended the event, and later Rosetta spoke to Laura about the threats dogs can pose to our wildlife, and what needs to be done to reduce the risks.
