You just need to look at "conservation" for game to answer that question.
Nope
I’m retiring shortly. I *won’t* be switching my vote to Reform!

New paper just out...
A new method for planning long-distance trails using wilderness quality mapping and trajectory data: A case study of the Taihang Mountain National Forest Trail in China
doi.org/10.1016/j.je...
"Large carnivores, although not limiting total herbivore biomass, shape community composition and size distribution, and promote spatial heterogeneity in biomass consumption (le Roux et al., 2019; Mas-Carrió et al., 2024)." Not in lil'old England they don't.
My review in their latest newsletter of @britishwildlife.bsky.social Wilding for Conservation is now out.

Better than the peer review of Prof Simon Denny’s “Sustainable Driven Grouse Shooting: a summary of the evidence”
The first-ever Business and Biodiversity assessment report provides decision-makers clear evidence on how business depends on nature, how they impact it & what it means for risk, resilience and long-term value.

Interesting article but as I always say “don’t confuse biodiversity [and culturally mediated landscapes] with naturalness and wildness, they’re not the same things.” That said I’m very suspicious of de-extinction just as with domestic proxies.
It’s not an uncommon trope. Have a read at Scribehound. Ok, something of an echo chamber for the “country set” but gives one a flavour. I’m about the only rewilding voice on there …which can be fun!
Aka Derek Gow?
Ok, so money spinner?
That was my understanding. So Knepp introduction is just a vanity project?
And white storks?
This is my go-to paper to point out that significant long-distance trade in wildlife is an ancient phenomenon- here macaws were traded from AD 700 from Meso into North America. Advocates of reintroductions of charismatic species based on sparse remains often conveniently overlook the role of trade.
@moorlandassoc.bsky.social I notice you blocked me on facebook for a similar post. Why I wonder?
Looks like it's been up a chimney!
I thought you might be interested in this as is relevant to objection to aims of NR3 - Nature Recovery Trees and Scrub. As you say it depends on location in respect to sensitive GNB areas, but as these maps/conclusions demonstrate native woodland regeneration and GNBs need not be mutually exclsuive.

A couple more new pieces in progress. #painting #acrylic #art
Australia’s land-use change is steadily shrinking and fragmenting native habitat, especially along the east coast and in the north.
Even where land isn’t fully cleared, fragmentation leaves wildlife more vulnerable to fire, heat and collapse — outpacing conservation efforts.
And relevance!
Hi Tom… it was very tongue in cheek post …I will have zero to do with Reform. Wouldn’t touch em with a barge pole as sh1t sticks!
What??? I could advise #Reform too, but it wouldn't be on their nature policies but on the nature of their policies. eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...
