Give UK's forgotten uplands a future!

News from the RSPB site

Neglect, apathy and a lack of vision means the UK's uplands are failing to deliver for people and for wildlife, despite the efforts of landowners and policy makers.

That is the stark verdict of the RSPB, which is calling for an urgent debate on the future of the country's mountains, hills, moors and valleys and their role in a world faced with the uncertainties of climate change.

The Society has released a new document detailing the challenges – and some possible solutions – in an effort to kick-start that debate and help shape future policy towards the uplands.

RSPB Scotland will be establishing a separate dialogue with all upland stakeholders north of the border via staff at the Scottish HQ in Edinburgh.
