Your articles should be part of the school curriculum. So erudite, so to the point. I love your style and the effortless way you get complex facts across ❤️
On Elizabeth Oldfield's podcast 'The Sacred' she starts by asking guests what is sacred to them. I find the question unanswerable because 'sacred' means both 'reverenced' and 'inviolable' and it's hard, if you care about things like this, to see those two things as in any way congruent. There's this bewildered sense of 'how is it even possible that they are able to do this?' I think this captures it well - starting with the title.
I'm afraid very little in our landscape is seen as either sacred or inviolable. The Russian trade is based on the idea that there is a 'surplus' of elvers which would be an ecological absurdity even if eels were not critically endangered.
Maybe you and your contacts might like to give my petition a nudge? It has got Defra really rattled.

You mean this one? chng.it/FnDpvGsTvq :-)
So far I have only sent to one person who had already signed it.
I'll have a think.
