While industrialisation rapes the landscape on a monumental scale, destroying habitats what can an individual do? Only little things, and hope for a change while there's anything left to save. I'm living in the UK. It's winter. Plenty of food and water out, regularly. They get used to coming. I've got quite a few mature trees. I've no plans to get rid of any, and I've put some more in. They're small at the moment, but they'll grow. I always think that if you fell a mature tree you've done more damage than you can replace in your own lifetime. Many it seems, don't care. I've spent the last few years making a big area left of the house into a wildflower meadow. Got quite a lot of British wildflowers growing there. Ox-eye daises, foxgloves, evening primrose, and the like. Late spring and summer it's alive with bees and damsel flies and stuff. When it goes to seed the birds move in. Squirrels and hedghogs pop in, a fox or two. In the face of the damage done countrywide in the same period it's probably futile. Hope I might have given you some ideas or hope though? While anyone keeps trying maybe the battle isn't completely lost. Think it was Confucius who said "Better to light one candle than to rage against the dark." wasn't it? As for pollution...of the atmosphere? Hopeless cause! We'll burn oil until it's all gone. Then we'll have to completely change the way we live. The climate's changed before though I reckon. Some species will be lost forever, others will flourish. Interesting to think that man, at the top of the pyramid would be the LEAST significant loss though isn't it? Keep nature close my friend.
