Touching and informative talk to come to wild time

Two talk attendees talk to Finn (man in the middle)

During a break: Librarian Breda Bollard talks to a library guest

The talk was well attended

Filmmaker Finn Van Gelderen, son to legendary wildlife filmmaker Gerrit Van Gelderen, whose TV show "The wild and the waters", together with Amuigh Faoin Spéir (Out Under The Sky) on which he worked on with Irish fimmaker Éamon de Buitléar, brought Irish wildlife into the homes of millions back in the 1950s, gave a very open and touching yet informative talk to an attentive audience at the Whitechurch Library on Taylor's Lane in Rathfarnham.

The day of the talk coincided with the 14th anniversary of Gerrit's passing.

The footage will go out on wild time on April 11th.

Animal Rights activists campaigning for the abolishment of the fur trade

Although the next 5 shows are all ready to go, there is more in the kitty:

Thomas just recorded footage regarding an anti - fur protest that was organised by the National Animal Rights Association (NARA). Laura Broxton from NARA will join Thomas on the show on March 7th and the recorded footage will go out at a later date. The footage proofed to be thought provoking as Thomas spoke to a woman who "stood her ground" admitting to wearing mink fur while NARA has strong views on not killing an animal for any human needs.

Thomas is also recording a talk about Conserving Ireland's Bats which takes place on Wednesday 20th February at the National Museum of Ireland in Kildare Street, Dublin 2

The talk is part of a lecture series about Mammals in a changing world
