writer

Charlie Pye-Smith has written about ecology, conservation, farming and development issues for a wide range of publications, including the Daily Telegraph, the Financial Times and the New Scientist. He has also worked as a freelance science writer for aid and research agencies in Africa, the Far East and Latin America, mostly focusing on issues related to farming, forestry and food production. His books include The Other Nile, Travels in Nepal, Rebels and Outcasts: A Journey through Christian India and Land of Plenty: A Journey through the Fields & Foods of Modern Britain.

In recent years he has focused on the impact of the hunting bans in England, Wales and Scotland. One of the purposes of his latest book, Real Lives, Real Voices: in Defence of Liberty, Livelihoods and Hunting within the Law, is to ensure that politicians hear the voices of the people whose lives would be most acutely affected by Labour’s proposed ban on trail hunting.
