REVIVE is a coalition of like minded organisations working for grouse moor reform in Scotland.
Up to almost one fifth of Scottish land is used to shoot hundreds of thousands of Grouse in the space of 4 months every year.

The distribution of a pharmaceutical drug across the landscape and into the food chain represents a level of intensification that transforms moorland from a semi-natural environment into a quasi-domesticated farmed environment.
Thousands of snares and traps litter Scotland's countryside and just like landmines, they indiscriminately kill, maim and wound our wildlife.
Fencing to keep deer out and sheep (which act as tick mops) in, can block access and are often visually intrusive.
Hilltracks on grouse moors can ease access for land management purposes but also have major visual and environmental impacts.
Grouse are killed with shotguns using lead shot. It is known to pose significant threat to human health and wildlife health.
Scotland's vital peat reserves are under constant threat from the damage caused by increasingly intensive muir burning on Scotland's grouse moors adding to the risk of climate chaos.
Even today, protected birds of prey continue to be persecuted on some driven grouse moors to such an extent it is causing population-level effects on iconic species such as golden eagles, hen harriers, red kites and peregrines.
The killing of wildlife on driven grouse moors is a relentless, year-round slaughter, carried out to ensure high stocks of red grouse are available for recreational shooting.
Each year, an average of 26,000 mountain hares are killed across Scotland.
