AND.
Nobody will care until it’s too late.
Bats
Butterflies
Bees
Who cares.
The drooling masses listened to morons like Ckarkson and here we are….
My favourite example of integrating urban and rural habitats remains Sonian forest, just south of Brussels.
For people who don’t know, there is literally a UNESCO forest just immediately south of Brussels. It is directly connected to an urban public park. It also has dedicated bus routes and a train station in the middle of it just to service people who want to visit the forest.
It is properly designed to have a massive number of different routes for walking and bikes, and they shut off certain parts at different times of the year to limit the impact on the local wildlife.
It really represents the difference to me between thinking it would be nice for people living in cities to be able to access nature, and actually proactively working to deliver it.
I am very confident that, if we wanted to, we could create a proper green belt that gave people a lot more access to green space, protected nature, and built a load more houses in a way that was profitable for housebuilders, but it would require a state willing to actively plan for it and spend money.
I am absolutely with this, but I find the endless environmental doom mongering that then doesn’t take place (polar bear numbers collapsing, Maldives disappearing underwater, Great Barrier Reef about to disappear, next ice age coming any minute now) to be hugely detrimental to when there is potentially something genuinely catastrophic happening like this.
They are spraying chemicals from planes all over the UK people are.saying they haven’t seen Bee either ??
Not surprisingly, a new study also revealed that since the emergency laws on pesticides was passed, we’ve seen far higher rates of pesticides on our foods than our European neighbors. Tell me the two aren’t related.
Here’s the article for anyone interested: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/sep/19/revealed-far-higher-pesticide-residues-allowed-on-food-since-brexit
I saw a butterfly a few days ago.
I was surprised and smiled then I realised I was only surprised as I haven’t seen or noticed one for a very long time.
Did make me sad after that.
So beautiful
