Rewilding

Agree to disagree

Lost me on that one, what fact is there to disagree with? I’m a country lad born and bred. One who recognises the need to acknowledge our place in the ecosystem and work with nature for the future of all. 

https://www.weare8.com/ Quiet is what we should not be but quite is what I meant!😉 We need to up the game against those who seek to upset the balance!

95% of the land in this country is owned by 5% of its inhabitants(so I’ve read) it needs to be made accessible to the many & a safe haven for wildlife. It’s obscene that the land has been abused & rivers, streams poisoned. The unique chalk streams are being destroyed & with the destruction goes habitats & wildlife. It’s been the same attitude for centuries-make it work for all or lose it to those who really care👍🏻

Ok there is a difference between those who live in the countryside and those like me who own a bit of it and has managed it for 70+ years. With that comes experience and responsibility.  Why dont you start by making yor garden a public space.

Fish, unless you don’t value wildlife, you do ensure that the natural balance is maintained and you recognise the need to maintain ecosystems for all flora and fauna within it, you don’t profit by or take pleasure in negative land use pursuits then I really don’t thing you have to concern yourself. It’s not those like me and you who in the grand scheme of things have minuscule land ownership that are the concern. It’s the big ‘boys’ and big businesses that profit deliberately from destruction and pollution. Take for example our very own waterways, the filthiest in Europe with fish stocks and life within them decimated. Pardon the pun but you and I are small fish. We need to protect the ecosystems from those others! We need to act now!

I do, for charity👍🏻

Bit like a cuckoo -"change its tune in the middle of June and then flies away".  If you read the papers most of the river polution is not by famrers but by the Water Companies.Likewise Industry is responsible for polutantants and bad gases. Legislation is thre but never used. Its a lot easier to blame farmers when your mouths are full.

There are good and bad in most of those that polute any areas ,not  just rivers but those who protest loudest are normally the most responsible for polution

Unfortunately it's true about water company pollution the public need to ask more questions and demand action.
