The world is currently talking about the threat of climate change, but how do the threats from this stack up with ongoing and developing impacts on our uplands? Barbara will look at a range of issues which have shaped our current upland environment and consider what we can expect in the future. Will we retain the wilder parts of our mountains or will our changing world result in an increasingly managed landscape, and what of the wildlife which is struggling to survive even now?
