Great project. I live in North Cornwall and love the idea that pine martens if reintroduced could spread into Cornwall, perhaps in a similar way that choughs are expanding northwards from Cornwall, although the latter are probably not subject to attack from the likes of gamekeepers and farmers. However, I have little or no trust in the statutory bodies you mention you have to work with, which I believe have become politicized and hamstrung by the right-wing and vested interests like wealthy landowners: just look at how Natural England have persisted in supporting badger culls in the face of all of the scientifc evidence to the contrary. In our profoundly nature-depleted landscape the last thing we need is the bodies entrusted with protecting our wildlife turning into underfunded, timid and ultimately ineffectual paper tigers at the beck and call of lobbying from the Establishment.
