@MrWoodface @AmyJaneBeer @Right_2Roam Needs a fundamental change in UK conservation philosophy & practice. Not just that the system is broken, it’s never worked for #wildnature as it was highly compromised in conception. Difficulty now is how to break the dead hand of the #conservationindustry -statutory & NGO /1 @MrWoodface @AmyJaneBeer @Right_2Roam Mainstream conservation lacks a real aspiration for #wildnature, clinging to a defeatist attitude that depauperate nature in modified landscapes is the best that can be hoped for, while at the same time appearing “saviours” thru its management prowess of stasis conservation /2
