Comment: Curlews, rewilding, and finding common ground
Mary Colwell
Pages 497-503
Curlews sit at the centre of an emerging environmental debate – how we reconcile the needs of vulnerable species with the growing movement to rewild landscapes and reduce human intervention. Rewilding has brought fresh energy, ambition and imagination to conservation, yet species like the Curlew Numenius Arquata increasingly depend on targeted management if they are to survive in today’s altered environments.
Curlew campaigner Mary Colwell covers the complex debate around conservation of the species, the challenges they face and potential opportunities for their protection.
