A tiger, in an Indian zoo, with a paw damaged by a poacher's trap is set to undergo surgery and to be fitted with a prosthetic paw (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/28/tiger-injured-poacher-to-get-fake-paw-india). This is technically interesting but will not do much for the survival of this species in the wild.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
