Dear Sir or Madam,
please do more to save our threatened British wildlife like the
freshwater eel, crayfish, red squirrel, sea eagles
just to name a few as without help they will be gone for ever
please improve the countryside act by using it to create large
areas of habitats e.t.c wilderness areas for them to thrive

could you do more to reintroduce wildlife like beavers, sea eagles,
wild boar e.t.c all over the uk as this would enrich our
environment

many thanks

Yours faithfully,

Carl Holmes

The theft of white tailed eagles from other nest in Scandinavia is not conservation .the deaths is immense throwing them up on an island off Scotland is not conservation tying them down by one leg on a hill side with winds of 80+ miles an hour should at least be found upon never mind illegal. So many eagles perish its an conservation disaster yes there are now eagles but how many die because of the inept way the rspb go about blindly believing they know best.No other country in the word has this steel and through approach ,True conservationist breed in captivity and release a sustainable amount back in to an ecosystem.
