YOUR NEW WORLD TAKING YOU? Tracking jaguars and pumas in Mexico Owen Middleton MEcol Master of Ecology, fourth year “In 2015, my dissertation took me to Mexico to study the distribution and abundance of jaguars and pumas in the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve. The trip, organised by Operation Wallacea, brought together students and scientists from all around the world and aims to train the next generation of conservationists to understand how conservation research is completed. “It was an experience of a lifetime and one of the toughest I have had. It included trekking in draining temperatures, camping in often uncomfortable conditions and so many insect bites! But I now know I want to pursue a career in conservation. Working with international partners in fragile environments where human-wildlife conflicts must be managed carefully, is exactly what I want to do.” Find out more: www.southampton.ac.uk/ug/owen 6 7 Southampton is your gateway to the world.

In addition the presence of a new roundabout at the Dodwell Lane / Pylands Lane / bypass junction will assist in slowing speeds on Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road (Sunday’s Hill). This alone will provide a significant benefit to pedestrians and cyclists along this route. 2.2 There is a footway on at least one side of the road along this section of Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road. The reduced traffic volumes and speeds will make on-street cycling along this section of road acceptable. 2.3 Notwithstanding this it is considered that there is the scope for further improvements to pedestrian and cycle provision along this section of Dodwell Lane / Bursledon Road.

  • Towards an International City of Culture
    Towards an International City of Culture Southampton City Council Arts and Heritage Strategic Vision Executive Summary This Strategic Vision defines Southampton City Council’s strategic role regarding Arts and Heritage provision within the wider context of the City of Southampton Strategy towards 2026, council priorities, the Southampton Heritage and Arts People initiative (SHAPe), and the sub-regional Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH). Southampton is a thriving and growing city with a diverse and dynamic population. However, these developments are in pockets and other parts of the city (economically, physically, socially) remain significantly deprived. We want to transform Southampton from being a gateway to a place of destination where people want to visit, put down roots and engage in community. The City has a fantastic opportunity over the next twenty years to transform its cultural offer and create an overall vibrant cultural soul, a sense of identity and uniqueness that connects people to each other and to Southampton as place. Its rich cultural makeup, internationally important heritage story and nationally dynamic arts and creative scene provide an inspirational resource for exploitation. The significance of Southampton within the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) regional development area will ensure that this potential can be realised particularly within the context of Living Places. Culture is critical to Southampton’s economic development, health and wellbeing and the creation of an attractive image of the city as a place in which people want to live, work and play. Without a vibrant cultural soul, Southampton becomes a divided, anonymous, modern and transient settlement with little civic pride or unique sense of place, and without an attractive, sustainable and stimulating environment that people value.
