Episode #21

Kevin Cox, RSPB

A former magazine publisher – and if you read specialist-hobby magazines the chances are you’ll have read at least one magazine he either created or developed – Kevin Cox is the current Chair of the RSPB Council, the body tasked with ensuring the Society conducts its affairs in accordance with its Constitution (more of which in the interview) and within the law.
Elected in October 2017, Kevin brought a wealth of experience to the position, including a previous stint on the RSPB Council, his role as Chair of Devon Birds, and twelve years on the board of the World Land Trust – as well as a tangible commitment to conservation, excellent communication skills, and a life long passion for birds.

In this interview Charlie talks with Kevin about his commitment to conservation, publishing, and of course the RSPB – and in particular its ethical stance on predator control and neutrality on shooting.
