Please add your name so that our moorlands can be rewetted; so that native raptors are no longer persecuted; so that our soil and water are no longer contaminated by lead shot; so that our wild birds no longer have to compete with an estimated 60 million non-native game birds released annually

There are no rules governing the release of pheasants near busy roads. In fact, the industry still isn't licensed at all. Compare that to the decades of hand-wringing and intense regulation surrounding the reintroduction of the (actually native) Eurasian beaver. Makes you think.

The purple, treeless moors found across Britain’s uplands can look timeless and wild. In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë described “the purple moors” as “a wilderness of heath”. Yet these moors have been shaped by clearance, drainage, grazing, pollution and burning. theconversation.com/how-rewildin...

This is just a glimpse of what's to come without immediate action. It’s time to treat Scotland's wildfire risk as the national emergency it is. That means investing in prevention, early warning systems, and restoring the natural habitats that make our landscapes more resilient.

Rewilding is inherently about both nature and people. But in Wales, it's often misunderstood—wrongly linked to corporate carbon offsetting, "fortress conservation," or threats to rural communities and the Welsh language. True rewilding is a mosaic of life, not a people-free wilderness. #rewilding

It’s entirely false to pretend the alternative to underpaying food producers and staff is that food has to be more expensive. Supermarkets are making record windfall profits in a cost of living crisis and it’s only getting more extreme. Government can resolve this one of countless ways.
