RSPB

The RSPB’s continued demonisation of gamekeepers has led to an exchange of letters between the charity’s CEO and the Moorland Association.

The RSPB’s claim that its moorland rewetting programme is boosting bird numbers, including curlew, at its Dove Stone reserve may reflect optimism bias.

Times Radio billed Andrew Gilruth's recent appearance with Rod Liddle as “a confrontation with the Moorland Association.” In reality, it became a confrontation with reality.

We sent this letter to The Guardian in response to their piece - 'The place is bleached, a dead zone’: how the UK’s most beloved landscapes became biodiversity deserts.

A new report reveals how the RSPB's 2007 management plan for Lake Vyrnwy set specific targets for curlew and black grouse that have largely been unmet.

The RSPB’s latest missive, “Hen Harriers in the Firing Line – 2025”, has all the hallmarks of a tired detective novel: confident conclusions, convenient villains and crucial evidence that always seems to vanish

Why is the RSPB pushing unverified data while refusing to publish how many birds live on its own reserves? Read our full response.

This report examines how different land management regimes in Wales can conserve and improve habitats to support biodiversity, particularly birdlife, and assesses their cost-effectiveness.

For years, activists have campaigned to end driven grouse shooting. What they haven’t done is explain what they would replace it - or who would pay

If driven grouse shooting ceased, we estimate, using RSPB data that the cost of replacing lost curlew chicks in northern England would be £5,000–£10,000 per fledged chick.

This blog post discusses a comprehensive report commissioned by the Regional Moorland Groups that takes a close look at different approaches to land management in Wales.

"Conserving Birds and Nature in Wales: Land Management Regimes and Taxpayers’ is a detailed investigation that examines nearly five decades of land management at the Lake Vyrnwy estate in Powys, Wales

Moorlands are vital parts of our landscape, but they face a growing threat: devastating wildfires. These fires aren't just a natural phenomenon; they're heavily influenced by how we manage the land.

Ahead of yet another Commons debate orchestrated by Wild Justice, the RSPB is mobilising its supporters to write to MPs demanding more regulation of grouse moors. But read their letter closely and you’ll notice something missing: facts.

A report commissioned by the Campaign for the Protection of Moorland Communities looks closely at issues surrounding moorland management, suggesting that current policies, heavily influenced by some nature groups, may be creating more problems than they solve.

For years, Moorland Association members have been working tirelessly on the front line of curlew conservation.
