Why are wild places so imoprtant?
Day 9
“Since 1970, weโve lost 69% of all wildlife populations. And climate change is making our most precious wildlife even more vulnerable. As our planet heats up, weโre living through more extreme weather, floods, fires and droughts. Wild animals are struggling to cope โ food disappearing, water drying up, their homes destroyed.” -WWF
Some of the most astonishing wild places in the UK are protected habitats and looked after by charitable organisations. We are so fortunate that in the UK, there is a vast network of organisations looking after these places. When being in places like these or when watching videos about them, we feel a sense of appreciation for these places and at the same time recognise the urgency to protect these places.
Here’s an idea to strengthen our bond with your local wild places – visit the place, breathe deeply and feel a sense of awe at the amazing wonders nature brings us.
“We will all be impacted by the climate crisis one day, though in very different ways. We are sailing the same troubled waters, but in very different boats. Vulnerable countries that contribute the least to climate change suffer the most.”
– Brianna Fruean, Environmentalist and Activist from Samoa
