Thank you once again for signing and sharing the petition.
165,000 is an amazing number of signatures.
In just under a month's time I will be meeting with the Director General of the BBC, Tim Davie. It will not be just my voice he hears as I have been making notes of the many points concerned viewers have raised.
Obviously more signatures will add weight to those voices, so keep up the good work of spreading the word.
I have enjoyed the BBC's Wild Isles programmes but seen recent horrific reports, in the News, of the appalling treatment of our British wildlife by some members of society. It remains imperative that programmes that educate the public and champion the need to care for all species continue to be screened.
And why can't those programmes be live? After all, nobody says it's too expensive to screen live, outdoor broadcasts of numerous sports week in week out. Surely our wildlife has an equal right to be on our screens.
Thank you for caring,
Marion
