[QUOTE="mikep, post: 5893996, member: 4999"] The problem for me are phrases such as "scrub is a stable ecosystem in its own right". Although correct this should always be followed by the rider "without humans". This is the nub and the deceit of the ultra ecofreeks they are mutually exclusive and can only exist in isolation from each other. You cannot ignore humans and you cannot expect all other nature to be able to compete as we are the alpha +++++ on such a scale that we not only affect the local areas but globally and also affect the planet. The value of wilding will be as a reserve where the lesser spotted bog tit can survive as it's habitat has been degraded elsewhere. On the farmed areas care should be taken to cause less damage but those who say you can have it all are deluded or liars some species will lose out and that cannot be stopped. Even with the best will you will find critical mass will be lost so it's best to honestly look at what we want to keep and perhaps have reserves for the others which is where wilding may have a place. I don't want this but looking at it honestly I think that to say anything else is to promise what can't be achieved. Also as a bit of mischief where are all the house sparrows? used to be millions when I was a kid. Can we ask all householders to open up their eaves and soffits again to help them or can we 'rewild' parts of inner cities? [/QUOTE]
