Rory Kennedy was a lad with a fly rod and a ferret, and now he's the head of the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust in Scotland. His views on some issues might surprise you... he tells me:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>How lynx might be a gateway to restoring the wolf</li><li>Why recovering pine marten might have to be culled to save another species</li><li>Why nature recovery needs to be on a landscape scale, not just nature reserves</li></ul><p><br></p><p>And he tells me that grouse moors, so hated by conventional conservationists, are actually bastions of biodiversity. Is he right?</p><p><br></p><p>I'd love to hear your views, get me on Twitter/X where I'm @ScotNatureCorr, and on Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram. Give it a follow, subscribe... give it a share... Even if you don't agree with Rory, his are views that have been given a lot of thought.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Music created for this podcast by Nottingham's own Rob Baynes https://www.facebook.com/Beeeaaanz/ - hit him up if you want your own specially created music!</em></p>","author_name":"Richard Baynes"}
