Letter: Nature should go unadorned
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.IN HIS article about the summit cafe on Snowdon and the merits of a "better building", Tony Heath misses the far more important point that our greatest mountains should not be adorned by any buildings ("Teahouse at the top is past its peak", 31 March).
The grandeur of the mountains is diminished by this kind of commercial intervention, and Snowdon in particular does not need the further environmental damage that would result from an increased number of daytrippers attracted by this "theme park/visitor centre" approach.
We should expect more responsible behaviour on the part of the national park authorities.
