Wild Justice - SSSIs and their condition
Good morning! Last week we told you about the information requests we have sent Natural England about the presence of non-native captive-bred released Pheasants on sites of conservation importance on the southern edge of Dartmoor. This seems to have interested many of you. Thank you for your comments and thank you for your donations too. To see our blog on the subject click here.
We'd be willing to put money on the fact that Natural England probably won't respond very quickly to our requests but we are keen to find out what they say and to tell you about it. But while we are waiting for Natural England to respond we thought you might like to find out about the sites of conservation importance near to where you live.
So we have written a blog that walks you through how to use an online mapping site to find your nearest SSSI - click here. There may be one just down the road from you that you knew nothing about! It may be huge or it may be tiny - wouldn't you like to know?
If you do track down your nearest SSSI on the online system then please let us know its name and how close it is to where you live - email info@wildjustice.org.uk please. It's just for fun, but we'll be interested to find out which of our subscribers lives closest and furthest from one of these sites. And the number of emails will tell us whether this is a subject that might be worth following up with you all at a later date in a future newsletter.
That's it for now. Thank you so much for your support.
Thank you,
Wild Justice (Directors: Mark Avery, Chris Packham and Ruth Tingay).
