Peter Scott, the well known

The response, as we have


months, more than £100,000 has been raised — eloquent proof of the interest and con­ cern of those who are conscious of the threat to our national heritage.

Of course, as we have come DIFFERENT VIEWS


TT Is an Indisputable fact that an asset to one may­


be a real menace to another member of the community. Indeed, it would be safe to say that, as no two individuals hold the same views or have the same interests, it would be difficult for them to agree on the economic value of a cer­ tain species.
