He has authored over 40 reintroduction-related papers in Australasian and international journals, and was co-editor of the 2012 book Reintroduction Biology: Integrating Science and Management. Matthew W. Hayward is an Australian wildlife manager now based at Bangor University, Wales. He has been involved in reintroduction projects in three continents, including researching the impacts of the reintroduction of large predators to Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa; studying the ecology of reintroduced European bison in Poland’s Bialowieza Primeval Forest; planning, implementing and monitoring reintroductions for the Australian Wildlife Conservancy in south-eastern Australia; and now to supervising students involved in the reintroduction of Eurasian beavers to Wales.

He works closely with industry and wildlife management agencies to provide strategic technical advice to advocate the use of evidence-based science to support the conservation assets of marine and terrestrial reserves. Philip J. Seddon is a Professor of Zoology and Director of the Postgraduate Wildlife Management Programme at the University of Otago, New Zealand.
