Over 100,000 signatories are calling on the
government to halt the decline in the number of
ponies that have freely roamed for centuries.
Natural England has recently introduced new rules on the moorland

The
<https://www.change.org/p/save-the-dartmoor-hill-pony-last-chance>petition,
titled
<https://www.change.org/p/save-the-dartmoor-hill-pony-last-chance>Save
the Dartmoor Hill Pony, was launched by concerned campaigners.
A petition has been launched to save the famous
Dartmoor ponies which campaigners claim are at
risk of extinction, and some are asking are
Extinction Rebellion interested?
Nearly 100,000 signatures are calling on the
government to halt the decline in the number of
ponies that have freely roamed for centuries.
Figures show 20 years ago there were 7,000
Dartmoor Hill ponies roaming free on Dartmoor in
Devon today there are only 1,000.
Natural England has introduced new rules on the
moorland which mean farmers will now have to
pay for grazing the ponies on common land. But a
petition launched by Joceline Hibbs is urging
people to save the Dartmoor hill ponies from
extinction. Joceline said: The DoDo became
extinct through no fault of its own, just the wrong place at the wrong time.
This is true of the the Dartmoor hill ponies,
except they are the right animal in the right
place, for at least over 4,000 years, probably
far longer. Help us make sure this government
protects them for future generations. Defra must
ensure that Natural England do not take actions
likely to result in a decline in pony numbers as
recommended by an Independent Review.
We are at a critical point where it is possible
that they will disappear completely. Joceline
and 95,320 others are asking Steve Barclay, the
secretary of state for Defra, to make sure that
pony numbers do not decline. Natural England, the
governments adviser for the natural environment,
has assured it has not called for a cull of
Dartmoor hill ponies and that the importance of
maintaining the herd has been recognised.

The
<https://www.change.org/p/save-the-dartmoor-hill-pony-last-chance>petition,
titled
<https://www.change.org/p/save-the-dartmoor-hill-pony-last-chance>Save
the Dartmoor Hill Pony, was launched by concerned campaigners.
Dartmoor ponies have lived on the moor for
centuries there are records dated back to 1012
AD. All of the moors ponies belong to different
pony keepers, who ensure that each herd is
healthy and the species are vital for the
eco-system. But in January this year, Natural
England published details of new moorland rules
that could pose a threat to them, campaigners say.
These include payments for grazing with ponies
and cattle as opposed to solely sheep. Animal
welfare groups say this would also mean many
Dartmoor Hill pony owners would no longer be able
to continue grazing on common land (because of
payments and land restrictions) and the
slaughter of the creatures could well follow.
Joceline explains how there are not many
semi-wild Dartmoor ponies remaining in the area.
She said: On average there is only one in an
area of Dartmoor equivalent to 40 football
pitches. We must not let Defra miss this last
opportunity to secure a future for Englands only
remaining semi-wild pony population the Dartmoor
Hill Pony herds on the commons of Dartmoor.
The semi-wild Dartmoor hill pony is native, rare
and endangered, genetically important to the
equine species worldwide and a positive
contributor to enhancing Dartmoors biodiversity
in the way that they graze. But Defras agent,
Natural England, still seeks to catastrophically
reduce their numbers. We ask that government, Defra stop this happening.
Those who have signed the petition are urging for
the protection of these now-vulnerable species.
One commented: It is a scandal and frankly
outrageous that the body charged with protecting
biodiversity is responsible for decimating it
including and especially our native ponies.
Natural England must be investigated because I
cannot believe that they serve the UKs natural
environment as they are charged with doing and
for which they are handsomely paid by the
taxpayer. Another said: These animals are
native to the moorland, unlike the sheep, and
they enhance the ecology, unlike the sheep. We
need them to maintain the diversity of our
moorland, and because theyre incredible to have around.
A Natural England spokesman, who insisted on
remaining anonymous, told Devon Live: Natural
England has not called for a cull of Dartmoor
Hill Ponies. We have always been clear that
ponies make an important contribution to
conservation grazing on the Dartmoor commons as
part of the balance of grazing animals. Indeed,
some agri-environment agreements on the Dartmoor
commons include a rare breed supplement
specifically for their native pony herds.
While these supplements have to date been
available for Dartmoor ponies now that semi-wild
Dartmoor hill pony have also been included on to
the Rare Breed Survival Trust (RBST) watch list
we await advice from Defra as to whether the rare
breed supplement would also be available for hill ponies.
The importance of maintaining the Dartmoor hill
pony herd has also been recently recognised in
the independent Dartmoor Review. Our advice to
agreement holders includes encouraging them to
include sufficient ponies and/or cattle during
the period May to October and to also consider
the option of having year-round low level pony grazing.
While we can advise on the grazing framework for
each agreement the agreement holders themselves
will need to decide how they accommodate ponies
in delivering a balanced approach to the grazing
animals they use on the agreement land.
