Now weve seen the eco terrorist away from Mid Wales they turn their attention to H2S.A one man band who is supposed to be BBC wildlife expert with these draconian views gets all the publicity. Good luck with anyone presenting a reasoned or different view. The war chest alone will prevent any debate.

Strange why its always the outsiders or the new incomers that want to change how the locals live. We yokels who have looked after the countryside ( yes and changed it over millennia) don't seem to have any idea of how to manage things. The Danish wilders don't seem to have done a very good job either. Never mind lets see the changes the zealots bring to The Cheviots and Troutbeck in the Lakes. Quite funny how all these places they want to change are a long way from Hampshire or the Cotswolds where the majority of them live.

Being totally reliant on imported food sounds a "really good idea" .

Another townie spouting his opinion, re no need for farmers. Wait until all trade ceases as the Virus takes place. The only food available will be home grown but then there may be no one to eat it. A bit like German Cars but made from Chinese parts.

I don't think that my late wife could understand my hatred of B&Q coming into local areas 35+ years ago. They were a symptom of the demise of small builders suppliers, small engineering shops etc.

MSF. Here's one LINK. There is a link to an annual report in there. Did you know UK eels have been illegally exported to China causing huge losses to our European species? Rewilding is one thing, trying to keep up with illegal practices is another. Lets hope there is an end to the habit of the Chinese eating captive wildlife and running the risk of cross species diseases, we're now all suffering from the consequences eg the Coronavirus.

Thanks Brue, yes I was aware of this despicable illicit trade in elvers. It need stopping like the persecution of raptors on moorland estates and the spreading of toxic lead across the landscape. Still can't find any reference to not allowing restocking of our waters with genetically correct native species.

MSF. No I didn't expect you would find it as there's plenty of info out there about how restocking is done and the use of native "parents." There are similar processes for salmon, if anyone cares to dig them out of the internet etc.
Any re-introduced species in your area yet?!

Thanks Brue, I too found info. about restocking but no ref. to not using native genetic stock.
As far as reintroduction in general is concerned, yes, red kites are now visiting our skies, otters not seen for decades are reappearing too. We even have ospreys visiting our waters now on their transits. Natterjack toads have also been reintroduced to several sites local to us. Where there's a way there's a will. We humans can help the recolonisation of our native species spread elsewhere in previously occupied areas and managed reintroduction sites do help.
From little acorns massive oak trees grow!

Last year we have also seen more storks visit coastal and mainland England. The suggestion is that reintroduction projects in Western Europe is aiding this occurrence.
In addition this project below may also be contributing to the increasing numbers of this bird here in the UK which once bred here.

Wonder why this thread as suddenly reappeared....very strange, or maybe not with this forum and it's Lego men.

It seems everything we have said, and the misinformation put out by these Zealots was correct. Just read the antics of the Goldsmith dynasty in the papers today. Here we have privilege, member of DEFRA and money up to no good. Beware these zealots wont go away, it may be happening near you.
