Beskrivelse
With Britain's islands holding more than three-quarters of the Earth's stock of heather moorland, it is an extraordinary fact that it stands as one of the world's rarest habitats. A landscape beloved by millions, it's renowned for the tranquility and solace it provides however, this tranquility is an illusion. Britain's moorlands have, in less than a decade, moved from a position of benign consensus to the epicentre of the bitterest conflict within UK conservation. This insightful book sets out to examine and expose the hidden issues surrounding UK moorland conservation, giving a voice to the many people who work and live there and who feel that what they have to say is often ignored, if it's even heard at all. The fate of our uplands are in our hands, and it is important that an alternative narrative, from the perspective of the practitioners who have cared for these places for generations, are considered. It may be that those with power chose to ignore these facts and sweep them away, but at least now they cannot say they didn't know.
