The Wild Horses that are Rewilding Britain
This short BBC documentary follow the Wild Konik Ponies that are spreading across the UK helping to Rewild Britain.
It has been great fun learning the art of the cowboy and having our work documented for all to see.
This is small but vital programme cutting costs of nature reserve management. But it also highlights a fundamental problem in nature conservation. Because so little land is left to wildlife we have to intensively manage small nature reserves for specific species. The wild horses would do a much better job if the nature reserves where bigger and where connected.
Once again we see that the real solution to rewilding is land availability and to make land available we must stop subsidising land use and remove associated tax breaks. But the best solution is to Levy a Land Value Tax on land.
