Hugh Webster

Hugh Webster is a conservationist and author with a PhD in animal behaviour who has tracked leopards with San bushmen in the Kalahari and studied African wild dogs in Botswana. He became interested in Scotland’s controversial hare culls after learning that some populations had dropped by 99% since 1950 and his first book, The Blue Hare, is both an ecological morality tale and a fantastical adventure story; a novel that questions the role of moorland management in the UK's national parks and extolls the restorative power of wilderness.
