RSPB's flawed harrier survey

RSPB's flawed harrier survey

The RSPB is consulting on harriers

Saturday, 28 August 2010

Calls are being made for the withdrawal and review of the RSPB's North of England Hen Harrier Community Consultation

The Countryside Alliance(CA) and The Moorland Assoication are calling for the withdrawal and review of the RSPB’s North of England Hen Harrier Community Consultation on the grounds that the survey has been designed with a specific agenda in mind.

The CA’s moorland director Adrian Blackmore said: “The survey is worded in a manner which will produce results that are, at best, misleading and ill-informed. It fails to make people aware of the implications of having greater numbers of harriers.”
