Moorland Association “Heather moorland is a rare global habitat, with the UK hosting about 75% of it.” I know you know that this isn’t true, so what else in your briefing note is incorrect of just plain mis/disinformation?


Moorland Association “Our uplands are a truly unique and globally important habitat, rarer even than rainforests.” FYI orchards, car parks and even urban areas are rarer than rainforest.



Moorland Association I'll just leave this here... landethicsblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/28/can…

Moorland Association I’ll just pop this here… again landethicsblog.wordpress.com/2020/03/28/can…

Why does the The Telegraph publish such ecologically illiterate nonsense in response to the experienced, informed and thoroughly reasonable views expressed by Tony Juniper. A ‘pack of lynx!’ Really…


Moorland Association "...in briefing MPs, correcting misinformation, and making sure the real-world consequences of bad policy aren’t ignored." If you're really serious about this, why not correct the erroneous claim that 75% of the world's heather moorland is found in the UK?



Richard Negus Cut n paste in Andrew Gilruth “We’re responsible for 75% of the world’s heather moorland” 🤣




"Robust, evidence-based mechanisms for managing large carnivore populations should be implemented at the national level for each EU Member State to limit the possibility that decisions will be politicized and the best available science ignored" conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

"The idea of Wilderness as a self-willed landscape has been a difficult one for land management agencies. They have an ingrained history of modifying public lands to achieve 'desired conditions,' an idea laden with value bias even in the best of times." > wildernesswatch.substack.com/p/wilderness-a…
