I hope he goes hard on conservation in this. Biodiversity in the UK is on a steep decline and the public should be demanding more be done to rewild the UK to re-establish properly wild habitats, not the maintained ‘wilderness’ we currently have.
A few months ago I read that the UK has something like the 3rd worse natural land remaining in all of Europe, % wise, (in terms of forests, and natural areas for wildlife to thrive).
We have obliterated wildlife in the UK, and it’s a damn shame.
We can do better.
Made the mistake of reading the comments on MSN below an article about this programme, someone was comparing Attenborough to Goebbels. I guess not wanting the planet to burn down is as bad as wanting to gas millions of people.
Attenborough’s Wild Isles shows us our own ‘spectacular’ nature. Which is truly amazing, but this government is hell bent on destroying it & turning a blind eye when it see’s it being destroyed. Look up ‘reclaim our sea’. Absolute scandal…
Our own? when the romans invaded the entire island was covered in forest. There were still wild cows and such that roamed the land. There is nothing left but animals that are able to avoid humans most of the time. The only wild animals I’ve seen my entire life in the region that I live are: Hedgehogs, badgers and Muntjac deer (Which I’m not sure are even native or not)
