Rural groups backed by former cricketer Lord Botham have joined forces to highlight the importance of shooting to the environment and economy.
The nine organisations, including the Countryside Alliance, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation and the British Game Alliance, will advocate for the 'crucially important' role gamekeepers play in land management.
The partnership, called Aim to Sustain, will protect and promote 'the many wide-ranging conservation, biodiversity and community benefits that make the countryside the place we love'.
