Matt Hayward conducted a PhD on the conservation ecology of
the Australian marsupial quokka, then studied bushmeat hunting in
the Transkei region of South Africa and the reintroduction of large
predators to Addo Elephant National Park. He is currently
researching Holarctic predator dietary ecology, forest regeneration
and European bison conservation in Bialowieza Primeval
Forest, Poland.

Michael Somers is a lecturer at the Centre for Wildlife
Management and a core team member of the NRF-DST Centre of
Excellence for Invasion Biology at the University of Pretoria. His
research interests are broad but mostly include reintroduction
biology and invasion ecology.
