The Countryside Alliance (CA) is a British organisation promoting issues relating to the countryside such as farming, rural services, small businesses and country sports, aiming to "Give Rural Britain a voice".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Countryside Alliance )〕 With over 100,000 members, the group was named the 'most inspiring political personality' of the last ten years by ''Channel 4 News'' in 2008. ==History== The Countryside Alliance was formed on 10 July 1997 from three organisations: the British Field Sports Society, the Countryside Business Group, and the Countryside Movement. The Alliance was formed to help promote and defend the British countryside and rural life, both in the media and in Parliament. Since then, the Alliance has campaigned on a number of issues which they believe are important to rural Britain, some of the most prominent of which are listed below: * Against the passing of the 2004 Hunting Ban, and lobbying for its repeal〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hunting )〕 * Against the closure of rural post offices * Supporting shooting and deer stalking across the British Isles, by campaigning against additional regulations and negative press coverage〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Shooting & conservation )〕 * Encouraging customers and supermarkets to stock food from British farms〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Food & farming )〕 * Calling for better broadband connections for homes and small businesses in the countryside * Organising educational talks and trips to the countryside for schoolchildren〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introducing The Countryside Alliance Foundation )〕 * A "Game-to-Eat" campaign aiming to popularise game as a meat of choice〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Looking for a recipe? - Game to Eat )〕 * Fishing4Schools, an initiative aimed to help children with special educational needs by taking them angling * Falconry for schools * Supporting small rural businesses through the Countryside Alliance Awards scheme〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Communities )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Countryside Alliance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
