Now I am all for conservation but history shows us that when we place these things in the hands of people who live miles away then it is a recipe for disaster, ( a bit like the pricks in Westminster ). Most people only visit the lakes in summer but it is a landscape forged by millenniums of weather, ( usually VERY wet ), hill farming and a singular lack of human intervention.
If I remember my O'level geography right, the Lake District is a landscape forged by glaciation rather than weather as such.
Do you have specific examples of "these things" that have ended in disaster at the "hands of people who live miles away"?
