I think that there is a big problem for a lot of people (especially in Essex, I'm sorry to say) that when they see land that isn't built up then it's "
wasteland" - it has no value and therefore it's ideal for driving vehicles about (or whatever else you want to do). I've seen this in Essex woodlands - great places for motorcycle scrambling (never mind what it does to the footpaths or wildlife) but probably the best (
i.e. worst) example is coastal dune systems. These are very fragile ecosystems but many people just see them as somewhere to shelter from the wind, play hide and seek and have a barbeque ... with consequent destruction of the environment.
It is very sad that we need to 'lock up' nature reserves but seems to be the norm ...
