Description
Inglorious Conflict in the Uplands by Mark Avery is a hard-hitting exploration of the conflict between driven grouse shooting and nature conservation in Britain. This multi-million pound industry dominates the hills of northern England and Scotland, yet its impact on the environment is severe. Driven grouse shooting is not only a peculiarly British fieldsport but also deeply rooted in the country's class system. Mark Avery presents a compelling case for banning this practice, citing the illegal killing of wildlife such as Buzzards, Golden Eagles, and Hen Harriers. However, he also acknowledges the economic importance of grouse shooting and its place in British tradition. Avery's book provides a detailed analysis of the debate, featuring insights from those on both sides of the issue. The author's campaign to ban grouse shooting is also documented, including his efforts with Chris Packham to raise awareness about the proposal.
