One good way to avoid any excess loos of nature is to make architect an protected role. This would mean housing developments would be law requires to employ an architect. A good architect is able to incorporate into the design element beneficial for nature at no extra costs or at a unjustifiable extra.
It would also result in new builds being of a much better quality of design, create a much nicer environment all round, and potentially improve people’s mental well being and physical health.
We’re on a new estate and all the gardens are connected by hedgehog tunnels. It’s a big developer too so fairly likely they’re doing this nationally.
We claim to love animals in this country. The reality is that isnt true. We love pets. We hate animals in nature. Look at foxes or badgers…
The UK is a wasteland from a wildlife pov.
People wont even leave dandelions in their lawns for bees because they have a fetish for manicured green laws. Fyi – this is literally as useful to wildlife as concrete.
Find someone who loves aninals and ask them to stop using weedkiller, see how that goes.
They’ll be the same ones crying about what went wrong when hedgehogs are extinct
The Missus has a mating pair that live in the garden. I’ve built a house for them and several feeding stations. Spike and Daisy.
Spike will eat peanut butter from a dish near the Missus feet when we sit out on summer nights.
Judge Dredd Megacities as far as the eye can see, and nothing excepts rats and sinewy foxes for wildlife.
Saw my first ever hedgehog this summer in my garden. Fed him and he showed up with 2 mates the next day. Spent a fortune on cat food until autumn came!
People need places to live
I’d grind half the hedgehogs in Britain into paste if it meant I could half the rent of everyone in this country…
We’re supposed to be a nation of animal lovers and hedgehogs are one our most popular species. Despite this, I cannot see their being a major call for action to preserve them. Protecting them is as simple as rewilding gardens, creating hedgehog tunnels (a hole in the garden fence does just fine) and stopping habitat fragmentation when building new homes. It’s all very simple and requires minimal effort, however I cannot see people going for it because it requires changing how we live. Even the threat of losing one of our most beloved species won’t change how people choose to live, which only spells out their doom (and that of any other species threatened with extinction in the UK).
Why do we have to kill the planet slowly. Let’s just blow it all up and get it over with
Don’t worry, I’ve been reliably informed that Britain is only 4% built on, we have plenty of space for developments. Need somewhere for the annual net one million migrants to live.
Who cares, team human all the way. We need the space more than some fucking hedgehogs
