She happens to live in the middle of the New Forest, 94,000 acres of heath and woodland, protected as a National Park and probably the UK’s best area in which to find Dartford Warbler. Feeling (only slightly) guilty that I had dashed out so quickly, I took the first brief sighting as my tick and got back to the families.

Tell me, what happens if we rip away hunting when hunting protects more wildlife land in Africa than national parks? The killing of Cecil was equated with murder, a moral crime rather than a symptom of a ecological problem. Conservation is concerned about protecting populations, species, habitats, ecosystems.

They’re about protecting a system that produces cheap food. How does the health of a farmer’s family and community figure in when they are making the decision to continue industrialized production methods? The idea that eggs from free-range chickens are somehow morally superior to other eggs is, frankly, weird.
