I hate to be the cynic in the room but this doesn't go far enough. Its pointless asking individuals to do all of these things when legislation change is needed to address all of these factors.
We're still losing greenbelt and farmland to development. Why is nobody in Britain pointing out the obvious effect overpopulation is having (largely due to immigration if we are totally honest) on both nature and our domestic food production?
Additionally, whilst I generall agree with the points you have made here, there also needs to be a lot more funding given to study what is actually causing this massive decline.
For instance, why has there been so little research done on the effects of both light pollution and RF pollution on insect populations? Preliminary research suggests the impacts of these alone could be huge - and yet there is no indication that we will ever deal with these factors, including the population and housing issue, simply because nobody wants to rock the boat!
Your background is in business. You make money in grants off of these schemes. I struggle to believe your intentions aren't at least partially self-serving.
Thanks for the comment. You raise many important points, but we're a smaller-scale rewilding "start-up" helping individuals with micro-changes on rewilding small private and public spaces. We do not receive any funding for this, outside of our customer subscriptions. Appreciate that there are many wider societal & policy changes that need to be considered, but that's not our expertise.
I understand that. I'm just simply saying that most of these campaigns and organisations don't seem to be looking at things holistically - and since carbon sequestration seems to be where money lies at the moment, because corporations can buy and sell credits to absolve themselves, actual ecology seems go on the back burner a lot of the time.
Apologies if that's not the case in this instance. I'm just growing very weary of the lack of positive action.
