Is it too early to be disappointed that pheasant isn’t on GL40 for the purpose of protecting fauna?
Well done Ruth, Mark & Chris, you are all legends in the modern world of conservation. Thank you for all you hard work. There is a long way to go but we are lucky to have you 3 and many others taking these challenges forward.
Well done and thanks.
