End Driven Grouse Shooting
Throughout any national park, and indeed throughout Scotland, driven grouse shooting needs to be banned, along with all the damaging practices that go along with it, such as muirburn and wildlife persecution. Any national park should be managed for nature and for the people who live there. Rewilding can maintain rural jobs and economies through nature related jobs and tourism. More space for wildlife, less space for upper class playgrounds, and non-native tree farms.
Why the contribution is important
The climate and biodiversity emergencies need to be treated like the emergencies that they are. Radical actions are needed. Many of our fellow wildlife species are in a seemingly terminal decline, we can help them if we put in the effort.

Ashby & Heinemeyer, in their recent report, argue for an evidence based approach regarding prescribed burning ://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s13157-021-01400-1
To mitigate climate change and safeguard biodiversity loss, it is vital that rural practitioners and the jobs they hold are recognised for the vital contribution they make.
National parks do not recognise rural workers or land managers, yet it is there contribution that has made Scotland and the Scottish Borders one of the most outstanding areas in the UK.

This has nothing to do with National Parks though, as the park authorities do not have the powers to influence it. ScotGov needs to address the issue but so far has done precious little to tackle the wildlife persecution that takes place.
