The Revive Coalition

The motion

That the Parliament commends the Revive coalition, which comprises Common Weal, Friends of the Earth Scotland, League Against Cruel Sports, OneKind and Raptor Persecution UK, on its successful launch on 6 November 2018; understands that in Scotland nearly one-fifth of land is used to shoot and kill grouse for four months every year; welcomes the report, The Case for Reforming Scotland’s Driven Grouse Moors, authored by Dr Ruth Tingay and Andy Wightman; notes what it sees as the current negative impacts of intensive grouse moorland management, which includes lethal predator control, illegal killing of protected species of wildlife, such as golden eagles and hen harriers, the administration of medicines to wild birds, an average of 26,000 mountain hares killed each year, bulldozed hill tracks and the burning of extensive areas of heather moorland; recognises the call by the Revive coalition for radical reform of grouse moorland so that this complex and fragile environment is sustainably managed, and looks forward to the publication of the Grouse Moor Management Group report to the Scottish Government in June 2019.
