Mark Avery, co-founder of the campaign group Wild Justice, plans to shift focus from activism to wildlife and family. Despite stepping back, he committed to combating government failures in biodiversity. He criticized the government's lack of engagement in environmental issues and emphasized that legal challenges don't require constant victories to compel authorities to reconsider their choices. Wild Justice is mobilizing public support to ban driven grouse shooting, showcasing the growing momentum with nearly 50,000 signatures on their petition for a parliamentary debate.
Avery emphasized that it's not necessary to win every legal case to instigate deeper considerations within government decisions, likening this tactic to pine martens influencing grey squirrels.
Reflecting on his campaign efforts, Avery expressed disappointment regarding the government's environmental initiatives, linking their inaction to a disinterest among MPs in countryside issues.
