🍃A big day today as Tir Natur, Wales' biggest (and only large) rewilding project is live. I've been critical of some rewilding projects in the past, and will continue to be where I see a need. I'm going to try and explain why I've been volunteering to help this project, and why it's important (1/N)

“The FUW [Farmers' Union of Wales] remains fundamentally opposed to rewilding, given the clear evidence of the ecological harm and economic risks it poses" Same article: this image of the landscape they're describing, prior to its purchase for rewilding. Think the FUW needs some new arguments.
