My father was raised on a I farm in Llangrannog, Cefn Cwrt, which was more rural, but I had the benefit of opening the curtains every morning and looking out on grass fields at the edge of the village. I have lived and worked in Cardiff for over 50 years and went from teaching to a range of businesses, mostly in manufacturing. In that time, I have found that getting back into the countryside and my involvement with game I have found that getting shooting, has contributed greatly to my work/ life balance. I believe my grounding as a teacher back into the countryside has allowed me to understand the great value and my involvement of that balance in connection to numerous with game shooting, has activities in life. contributed greatly to my Much research has been done on the work/life balance. environmental benefits of gameshooting, but the important social impact is little understood. In an attempt to fill that knowledge gap the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust Cymru/ Wales conducted a survey earlier this year the results of which are contained in this report. The number of responses and the strength of feeling they express is striking. I have always considered shooting to be part of my cultural heritage, but I hadn’t quite realised the extent to which my passion was shared by so many across the country. I look back fondly on seeing both my father and grandfather going out into the countryside with a gun under their arm when I was a child and feel the valuable balance that gave me should be accessible to future generations.

    Nuclear heresy: environmentalism as implicit religion By: Caroline McCalman A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Urban Studies and Planning November 2018 Nuclear heresy: environmentalism as implicit religion By: Caroline McCalman A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Urban Studies and Planning November 2018 Abstract | Nuclear heresy: environmentalism as implicit religion This thesis is a discourse study of environmentalism in the UK. The research indicates how reframing environmental issues using religious concepts and language can deepen our understanding of people’s relationship to the environment and environmentalism. The thesis suggests that this process of reframing may be important for the social sciences, by illuminating new ways to engage with and understand the controversies and debates at hand. The data supporting this reframing analysis was obtained through in- depth, semi-structured one-on-one interviews with individuals identified as being ‘environmentally concerned’ and was analysed first thematically, and then using the researcher’s ‘discourse toolkit’. Nuclear power is treated as an emblematic issue to provide a concrete focus for a topic prone to abstraction; viewing environmentalism as a form of religion encouraged interdisciplinary working. By developing ideas from Bailey’s implicit religion (Bailey, 1997) I provide a language for environmentalism-as-religion, wherein pro-nuclear heretics challenge an anti-nuclear orthodoxy. Linking environmental discourses to enduring cosmologies shows that ‘superficial’ conflict over climate change mitigation is acrimonious precisely because it deals with manifestations of deeper convictions on the human-nature relationship.

Four of clubs Sammy Wilson Northern Ireland environment minister Sammy Wilson's appointment as Northern Ireland environment minister appears to have been conceived as some sort of practical joke. It's no longer very funny. He fills the same role as the former South African health minister, Manto Tshabalala-Msimang, who claimed that Aids could be treated with beetroot and lemon juice. Wilson maintains that environmentalism is a "hysterical pseudo-religion". Climate change is natural and "beyond our control", so "resources should be used to adapt to the consequences of climate change rather than King Canute style vainly trying to stop it." But the minister for hysterical pseudo-religion intends to cling onto his brief come hell or high water.

  • Stories of Natural History Film-Making from the BBC
    Networks of Nature: Stories of Natural History Film-Making from the BBC Gail Davies Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted 1997 Awarded 1998 University College London Gail Davies Phd: Networks of nature Abstract In May 1953 the first natural history television programme was broadcast from Bristol by naturalist Peter Scott and radio producer Desmond Hawkins. By 1997 the BBC's Natural History Unit has established a global reputation for wildlife films, providing a keystone of the BBC's public service broadcasting charter, playing an important strategic role in television scheduling and occupying a prominent position in a competitive world film market. The BBC's blue-chip natural history programmes regularly bring images of wildlife from all over the globe to British audiences of over 10 million. This thesis traces the changing aesthetics, ethics and economics of natural history film-making at the BBC over this period. It uses archive material, interviews and participant observation to look at how shifting relationships between broadcasting values, scientific and film-making practices are negotiated by individuals within the Unit. Engaging with vocabularies from geography, media studies and science studies, the research contextualises these popular representations of nature within a history of post-war British attitudes to nature and explores the importance of technology, animals and conceptions of the public sphere as additional actors influencing the relationships between nature and culture. This history charts the construction of the actor networks of the Natural History Unit by film- makers and broadcasters as they seek to incorporate and exclude certain practices, technologies and discourses of nature.

    The Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP, The Prime Minister 10 Downing Street London, SW1A 2AA Copied to: The Lord Gardiner of Kimble, Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs London, SW1P 3JR 30th November 2020 Dear Prime Minister, For the health of our nation, let’s give people more access to nature: let’s extend the Right to Roam. We write to you as authors, musicians, actors and artists, united in our belief that we all need greater access to the English countryside. In the books we write, the songs we sing, the art that we make, we celebrate the essential connection that we feel with nature. Our love for nature resonates with our millions of fans and followers, but in England, it is actively discouraged by the law. This is not only unfair; it is also untenable. Twenty years ago this week the Countryside and Rights of Way (CRoW) Act became law. It introduced for the first time a Right to Roam in England, giving people access to some of our most beautiful landscapes. It has been both highly successful and incredibly popular, yet it covers only a fraction of our countryside. We have freedom to roam over just 8% of England, and only 3% of rivers in England and Wales are legally accessible to kayakers, paddle-boarders and wild swimmers. But just over the border in Scotland, the law encourages the public to swim, walk, camp, kayak, forage and climb, to connect with nature in a responsible manner that is better both for them and for the environment.

They are short and to the point, which is what I like about WLT: First, they save land “Fifty years ago, in the conservation movement’s early days, there was a great emphasis on individual endangered species - Giant Pandas, Oryx, particular species of birds. We eventually realised, however, that the important unit was not a particular species but a whole ecosystem. Indeed, in the long run, you will not save those endangered species unless you save the whole ecosystem. To save an ecosystem you need to save the land. That is what WLT’s programme partner NGOs do with funds raised by WLT. By protecting whole ecosystems, they not only protect the mammals that everyone knows, but protect the smallest insects and plants, many of which haven’t even been discovered.” The Narupa Reserve in north east Ecuador, owned by WLT Second, WLT does not own the land partner, Fundación Jocotoco. “WLT raises funds to buy land but ownership is with the local Funded with support from WLT, organisation.
