填空题For 40 years the sight of thousands of youngsters striding across
the open moorland has been as much an annual fixture as spring itself. But the
2,400 school pupils who join the grueling Dartmoor Ten Tors Challenge next
Saturday may be among the last to take part in the May tradition. The trek faces
growing criticism from environmentalists who fear that the presence of so many
walkers on one weekend threatens the survival of some of Dartmoor's
internationally rare bird species. The Ten Tors Challenge takes
place in the middle of the breeding season, when the slightest disturbance can
jeopardize birds' chances of reproducing successfully. Experts at the RSPB and
the Dartmoor National Park Authority fear that the walkers could frighten birds
and even crush eggs. They are now calling for the event to be moved to the
autumn, when the breeding season is over and chicks should be well established.
Organisers of the event, which is led by about 400 Territorial Army volunteers,
say moving it would be impractical for several reasons and would mean pupils
could not train properly for the 55-mile trek. Dartmoor is home to 10 rare
species of ground-nesting birds, including golden plovers, dunlins and lapwings.
In some cases, species are either down to their last two pairs on the moor or
are facing a nationwide decline. Emma Parkin, South-west
spokeswoman for the PASPB, took part in the challenge as a schoolgirl. She said
the society had no objections to the event itself but simply wanted it moved to
another time of year. "It is a wonderful activity for the children who take part
but, having thousands of people walking past in one weekend when birds are
breeding is hardly ideal," she said. "We would prefer it to take place after the
breeding and nesting season is over. There is a risk of destruction and
disturbance. If the walkers put a foot in the wrong place they can crush the
eggs and if there is sufficient disturbance the birds might abandon the nest."
Helen Booker, an RSPB upland conservation officer, said there was no research
into the scale of the damage but there was little doubt the walk was
detrimental. "If people are tramping past continually it can harm the chances of
successful nesting. There is also the fear of direct trampling of eggs." A
spokesman for the Dartmoor National Park Authority said the breeding season on
the moor lasted from early March to mid-July, and the Ten Tors Challenge created
the potential for disturbance for March, when participants start
training. To move the event to the autumn was difficult because
children would be on holiday during the training period. There was a possibility
that some schools in the Southwest move to a four-term year in 2004, "but until
then any change was unlikely. The authority last surveyed bird life on Dartmoor
two year ago and if the next survey showed any further decline, it would
increase pressure to move the Challenge," he said. Major Mike
Pether, secretary of the army committee that organises the Challenge, said the
event could be moved if there was the popular will. "The Ten Tors has been
running for 42 years and it has always been at this time of the year. It is
almost in tablets of stone but that's not to say we won't consider moving if
there is a consensus in favour. However, although the RSPB would like it moved,
75 per cent of the people who take part want it to stay as it is," he said.
Major Pether said the trek could not be moved to earlier in the year because it
would conflict with the lambing season, most of the children were on holiday in
the summer, and the winter weather was too harsh. Datmoor
National Park occupies some 54 sq km of hills topped by granite outcrops known
as "Tors" with the highest Tor-capped hill reaching 621m. The valleys and dips
between the hills are often sites of bogs to snare the unwary hiker. The moor
has long been used by the British Army as a training and firing range. The
origin of the event stretches back to 1959 when three Army officers exercising
on the moor thought it would provide a challenge for civilians as well as
soldiers. In the first year 203 youngsters took up the challenges. Since then
teams, depending on age and ability, face hikes of 35, 45 or 55 miles between 10
nominated Tors over two days. They are expected to carry everything they need to
survive.
