Environmental conservation can take a diversity of forms. Regardless of the form, however, conservation efforts always seem to be characterized by a tug of
war between developers and environmentalists. In a recent environmental contest that has developed in the U.K., however, the tug of war that is ongoing is not just between developers
and environmentalists but between environmentalists themselves. Each group has distinctive priorities of what should be conserved and how it should be accomplished. The battle erupted over plans to
put in twenty-seven wind turbines at a location very near the Lake District National Park boundaries between Shap and Tebay. The stakeholders in
the wind turbine/national park battle have drawn their lines of demarcation not on the basis of any physical impact to the national park itself but rather on whether or not
they perceive an impact from the proposal on the aesthetics of the view from both the existing park boundaries and from the boundaries that could represent the park if expansion
plans that are in place go through, expansions plans that would extend the park all of the way to North Yorkshire (The Cumberland News, 2005). Additional concerns surround the
impact of the wind turbine proposal, a proposal that includes turbines up to four hundred feet high, on the tourism that drives the regions economy (The Cumberland News, 2005).
Those that advocate the plan contend that tourism will either not be affected or that it will be positively affected (The Cumberland News, 2005). Those that oppose it contend
that the impacts to the natural beauty of the area will be just too much to bear and cannot help but adversely affect the tourist industry (The Cumberland News, 2005).
