[QUOTE="Bongodog, post: 7761413, member: 1343"] To me its a consequence of our education system, we used to turn out vast quantities of people with practical skills, who had either done full time vocational courses or day release. These were the people who then looked after the land, the buildings etc. Now we turn out vast quantities of people with degrees in biological sciences etc who know their job is to carry out endless studies into the effect of doing nothing. In another 20 years when the ground nesting birds have disappeared due to rewilding they will have all the information at their finger tips to pinpoint exactly when it all went wrong. If you've spent three years as an undergraduate and then as they increasingly do another year for a masters, incurring a vast tuition fee debt along the way, you know that any form of manual labour to help the environment is for the less fortunate, hence nothing practical is acheived.
