License grouse moors and repurpose some for rewilding to aid biodiversity
Implement limited grouse moor licenses, with a zero tolerance license loss for heather burning and predator persecution.
In areas with many grouse moors or where nature needs more aid, do not issue licenses and repurpose the land for rewilding through the RSPB, Wildlife Trusts, and other parties
Grouse moors cover over 6 million acres of land in the UK. Intensive management has a massive negative effect on the natural world, disrupting peat bogs which lock up carbon (or emit carbon when drained), deforestation, and killing raptors through cruel methods. They have failed in self regulation.
Introducing a license for England and Wales would force good standards. If these standards not met, the vast amounts of land can be repurposed for rewilding, to meet the 2050 Net Zero target.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about activities relating to grouse moors, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
It's not sure exactly what you want to be licensed, or how proposals for rewilding would work where a moor is privately owned.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
