Rewilding vs Managing


It’s no secret that the managers hate rewilding for obvious reasons and will find devious and increasingly shrill reasons for opposing it.

Here’s the link to the latest salvo in the campaign for a better and wilder countryside.


As this touches on so many of the issues around the management madness that has not been properly debated in the Peak District I’ll be quoting from it.

Here’s a link to one of the more informed comments below the article.

The same commenter refers to the tactics of the conservation industry thus:

It needs to be acknowledged that the opponents of this type of suggestion use false argument and are disingenous. People are puzzled why they never get anywhere with well supported arguments, it is because if you argue with a disingenuous person you won't get anywhere. They are manipulative and they will just pull your strings and lead you around in circles. Only a challenging approach in which you point out all their intellectual tricks succeeds. Manipulative people insist on politeness, because it's considered rude to challenge people, and yet this is the only way you will ever get anywhere with manipulative disingenuous people.


Anyone experienced this?
