She talks about how the Conservation Genetics Resources\u00a0have been developing genetic tests (DNA) for the\u00a0 identification of the two squirrels. These tests identified tissue and hair samples of both species and there was no cross-species implication (i.e. they do not mix). This is a non-invasive method to help conserve the red squirrel and manage the spread of the grey squirrel in the UK and Ireland. She\u00a0also examined the genetic composition of the badger in Ireland, Britain and Western Europe, using DNA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Presenter:<\/strong> <em>Britt Du Fournet<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Panellist:<\/strong> <em>Joe Dunne<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the May 15th 2017 edition of Enviro, Britt and Joe are joined by plant and moss ecologist Joanne Denyer.\u00a0Joanne has given public walks for Heritage Week teaching a wide range of people from professionals to students who are starting\u00a0at the beginning and assume no prior knowledge of the subject.
