About this deal

West, JB (2002). "Highest permanent human habitation". High Altitude Medical Biology. 3 (4): 401–407. doi: 10.1089/15270290260512882. PMID 12631426. A: Recent research on mountain hares in areas managed for grouse shooting has given conflicting results. In some studies, the national or regional trends appear to be relatively stable, while other studies suggest there is a decline.

Retrieved 19 September 2010.Rigorous counting from gamekeepers has given hope to the Peak District’s population of mountain hares, showing their numbers are much better than feared. Last year, a BBC headline claimed that the Peak District's last surviving mountain hares were ‘at risk’, following reports by the People’s Trust for Endangered Species, drawing on paper by Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU). The story has been covered here, on BBC Radio Four and elsewhere. Matt remarks “as soon as you start doubting the material, you have to start adding features to make up for shortcomings.” He compares it to a tailor-made suit, “it's a really nice fabric that fits really well. Done. That suit's design has not changed for hundreds of years." In many ways, that's what Mountain Equipment aims for: Mountain environments are particularly sensitive to anthropogenic climate change and are currently undergoing alterations unprecedented in last 10,000 years. [30] In recent decades mountain ice caps and glaciers have experienced accelerating ice loss. The melting of the glaciers, permafrost and snow has caused underlying surfaces to become increasingly unstable. Landslip hazards have increased in both number and magnitude due to climate change.

Massimino et al. (2018) and Watson and Wilson (2018) – Both studies reported declines in mountain hare abundance indices. Significant population declines in 34% of the mountain hare’s British range occurred between 1995-2015. A 30% decline in abundance was found each year between 1999-2017 on moorland managed for grouse in eastern Scotland. However, an on-going analysis of GWCT hare data collected during grouse counts on the same estates surveyed by Watson and Wilson found no evidence to support these declines, and the analysis and conclusions used by Massimino have been challenged. We welcome the new methodology guidelines as they set a standard for best practice to be used by all land managers and gamekeepers throughout the country. Being able to easily identify the distribution and abundance of mountain hares in upland areas will give us a true picture about their conservation status in Scotland and allow for informed decisions when carrying out sustainable management. The game box includes a four-piece game board, two cardboard 3D ‘mountain’ pieces which slot together and slot into the board, four playing pieces with plastic bases, a plastic piece for the mountain summit and 13 yeti footprints – ten with numbers between one and five, and three with yetis on the reverse. For example, if a child wants to play with cars but can't yet reach them without climbing up on furniture or standing on boxes, then consider purchasing an attachment that allows them to play with cars without having to stand up or climb up things.Interested in understanding the true population status of mountain hares, gamekeepers worked with the Peak District Moorland Group (PDMG), Moorland Association (MA), National Gamekeepers Organisation (NGO), BASC and GWCT to set out getting a real picture of mountain hares in the area.

The point on Earth's surface farthest from its centre. [52] Everest is highest from sea level (green), Mauna Kea is highest from its base (orange), Cayambe is farthest from Earth's axis (pink) and Chimborazo is farthest from Earth's centre (blue) The effect of the climate on the ecology at an elevation can be largely captured through a combination of amount of precipitation, and the biotemperature, as described by Leslie Holdridge in 1947. [29] Biotemperature is the mean temperature; all temperatures below 0°C (32°F) are considered to be 0°C. When the temperature is below 0°C, plants are dormant, so the exact temperature is unimportant. The peaks of mountains with permanent snow can have a biotemperature below 1.5°C (34.7°F).

The GWCT’s Dr Kathy Fletcher worked with Dr Scott Newey from the James Hutton Institute and Rob Raynor of NatureScot to produce a report, which identified night-time counting as a simple and robust approach, observing that standard daytime counts detect a fraction of night-time numbers. This has proven to be the case once more in the Peak District. A: The mountain hare is listed under Annex V of the EC Habitats Directive (92/43EEC) as a species “of community interest whose taking in the wild and exploitation may be subject to management measures”. As well, Article 14 of the Directive requires member states to ensure that the exploitation of such species “is compatible with their being maintained at a favourable conservation status”. This means that culling and recreation shooting of mountain hares is legal if it is proven to be sustainable. In Scotland there is an open season from 1 August – 28 February. Mountain hares are shot for recreation, disease control amongst red grouse and sometimes to protect newly planted woodland. Kaye, G.D. (2002).

About the Product: Orchard Toys is a UK-based company that produces educational games, jigsaw puzzles, activity books, and flashcards for children. Orchard Toys was founded in 1971, and as of 2023, the company has been in existence for over 52 years. Orchard Toys has also partnered with several well-known brands and organizations, such as the National Trust and the RSPB, to produce educational products that promote learning about the natural world. Mountain Equipment went on to be early adopters of GORE-TEX Active, WINDSTOPPER® and the GORE-TEX Pro technology. Matt Fuller, who developed an entirely new sleeping bag construction while achieving his PhD in down insulation, proudly highlights that Mountain Equipment was the first brand to launch a GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ shell sleeping bag. A: Yes. Heather moorland that is managed for red grouse is a good habitat for mountain hares. This is probably because the predator control, combined with rotational burning that produces new heather growth, benefits both grouse and hares. For example, if you are buying a toy for a toddler that is too advanced, they may get bored and turn to other activities while they wait for the toy to be played with. Thus, early learning toys are appropriate for toddlers, instead of too complex toys. Mountain hares spend much of their time resting up in long heather and then can only be counted if they are flushed. A less intrusive method is to count them when they are active and therefore more visible.
