THE wildlife expert and TV presenter Chris Packham is set to appear at a grouse moor reform conference in Scotland.
The REVIVE coalition’s national conference will look at the issues surrounding grouse moor management in Scotland and ask whether the upcoming Wildlife Management & Muirburn Bill goes far enough to protect the environment.
Packham said he was thrilled to be involved in the discussion about how to change Scotland’s environment for the better.He said: “This conference comes at a crucial time for nature as the Scottish Parliament is deciding how to tackle the biodiversity and climate crisis while grouse shooting continues to exacerbate both.
“I’m thrilled to join REVIVE to discuss how we can change the face of Scotland, for the better, for its people, wildlife and the environment.”The proposed bill seeks to end the illegal persecution of birds of prey in Scotland, which have often been found shot or poisoned on driven grouse moor estates.
