#94 Atlantic Salmon, River Biodiversity, Tracking Fish, Population Decline, Salmon Farming, River Bio Security, Getting Into Fishing
Delving under the surface this week, we welcome Mark Bilsby, CEO of the Atlantic Salmon Trust, and Will Peake, a ghillie on the river Dee on onto the show.

Of international importance, the consequences of failure to save the species could be unimaginable. www.thepacebrothers.com podcast@paceproductionsuk.com

#93 Shooting Ban In Wales, GWCT, Government Decisions, Looking At the Facts
Worldwide we see government decisions impacting on wildlife and habitat management in negative way, often driven by personal agendas and moral exceptions. We saw this with Tahr in New Zealand, and British Columbia with Grizzly Bears, both topics we have covered in in previous shows. Now we see it in Wales, with shooting leases being taken back on public land, effectively ceasing all shooting/hunting activity. We hear here from Sue Evans, Director of the GWCT in Wales, to understand the history and reasons behind the recent decision. Importantly, we ask what the government is doing to replace the proven benefits of shooting in these areas. podcast@paceproductionsuk.com www.thepacebrothers.com
