[QUOTE="betweenthelines, post: 7786523, member: 45282"] Right, lets all calm down a bit and look at what has actually been said and what it means before we all start wringing our hands and pleading guilty to something that we may not be responsible for, or may even not be a bad thing anyway. Before we panic we need to know just what is meant by "lost 47% of biodiversity" Does that mean we have 47% less areas of biodiversity? That would be almost exclusively due to development. Or 47% less varieties of flora and fauna, Does that mean major species such as Wildcats, or minor species like for instance a type of moth that may only have existed on one small area of heathland? Also, everyone needs to bear in mind that nature is changing all the time, It's called EVOLUTION. And it's the reason we homo sapiens swarm all over the planet and our Neanderthal ancestors don't. It would also be useful to know the timescales of the reported changes, and whether the rate of change is increasing or decreasing [/QUOTE]
