20130305_P3050087.jpg A Holly Tree growing in a split rock, the only tree in the area, as the rest have been grazed out by sheep. Overgrazing is a huge problem in the Lake District, that has prevented trees from growing, and over time leads to bare moorland, that otherwise would be covered in trees.

20120801IMG_9376.jpg A Bison grazing  on land reclaimed from a former tar sands mine at Syncrude Mildred Lake, north of Fort McMurray. The Alberta tar sands in Canada are the largest industrial project on the planet, and the world's most environmentally destructive. Syncrude are very proud of their reclaimed land, though only a tiny fraction of mine affected land has been reclaimed, and reclaimed into grassland rather than the species rich boreal forest that used to stand here. The Bison were introduced as part of a greenwashing project. When one was harvested, the meat was found to be so contaminated it had to be dealt with as toxic waste.

20120410_IMG_4655.jpg Dried up high grazing land above a Berber village in the Anti Atlas mountains of Morocco, North Africa. In recent years, rainfall totals have reduced by around 75% as a result of climate change. This has led to many villagers abandoning their fields and migrating to the cities to try and find work, as they can no longer grow food to support themselves, or feed their sheep and goats on the high pastures.

IMG_4507_gripped.jpg Boggy Moorland above Wet Sleddale that has had drainage ditches dug into the peat, known as gripping, to try and make the ground more suitable for sheep grazing. This is disastrous environmentally, causing a triple whammy of destruction. for a marginal gain in sheep farming, it degrades the moorland bog as a habitat for specialist plants and animals, it reduces the peat bogs ability to lock away and store carbon, and it greatly increases the flood risk downstream, as rain water drains straight off the land, rather than being taken up and released slowly by the peat and sphagnum moss.
