GWCT Chairman Ian Coghill comments on the BBC's position on wildlife presenter Chris Packham sharing his personal views.

BBC presenter Chris Packham has started an e-petition, calling for a moratorium on the shooting of three wader species: woodcock, snipe and golden plover.

We think, however, that some of the language and figures Packham has used are misleading.

GWCT Head of Predation Control Studies Jonathan Reynolds and Wetlands Ecologist Carlos Sanchez look back at the important impact that the Salisbury Plain project had on understanding predation.
