Mammal Society joins appeal to safeguard of mountain hare populations in Scotland

13th October 2017

Tom Aspinall

The Mammal Society has joined a coalition of ten environmental and outdoor organisations calling for action by the Scottish Government to introduce urgent safeguards for mountain hare populations.

The group of organisations, which also includes; RSPB Scotland, Scottish Wildlife Trust, Scottish Raptor Study Group, Badenoch and Strathspey Conservation Group, Cairngorms Campaign, National Trust Scotland, Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, John Muir Trust and Mountaineering Scotland are asking for a temporary complete ban of all mountain hare culling on grouse moors. This should continue until more is known about the size of local hare populations and it is established that culling does not compromise the sustainability of these populations .

The full press release can be found here.
