My passion is wildlife and want to be up all the issues and news concerning them.

We run a small nursery in England, with no regard to wildlife at all - we just grow as many different plants as we can find. We have created a mini wildlife reserve. We keep reading articles on "vanishing" and "Unusual" species, and we have lots of them. Snakes, lizards, butterflies, bumble bees, weasels (who, I an glad to say, mean no rabbits), hawks doves, tits, magpies, jays...and so on. Currently, we rejoice in dragonflies. A volunteer who works for nothing decribes it as a "priviledge to work here". You can barely walk for tits, robins, wrens , thrushes getting under your feet.
There is a lesson for the world. Just grow beautiful, and everything elese follows. The greater the diversity, the more stable (interesting, vibrant) the ecology.
