Listeners will be introduced to the history of Raptor killings in Scotland for the profit of grouse moor owners. They will learn what grouse moors are and why the owners benefit from from killing raptors. They will learn what this has done to the population of raptors in Scotland and what is being done to prevent further killings and reintroduce formerly extinct raptors back into Scotland. Finally, they will learn about the ecological effects of driving top predators from an area and what this can mean for the environment as a whole.
