Mark Avery, ex director de conservación de la RSPB, se despide con un duro artículo

...Un artículo en el que responsabiliza sobre todo a la clase política y los granjeros británicos del declive de la biodiversidad en las islas británicas, y en particular de las aves. Pero también a cada ciudadano del mundo:

The threats to nature come from us all – but mediated by government policies, spending decisions and regulations. Tigers and skylarks become more rare because of the way we live on this planet – putting biofuels in our cars, eating too much meat from livestock fed on grain and just sucking up the world's resources too quickly and too carelessly. Rarely does someone shoot a skylark or stamp on its nest but our over-consumption drives species declines much more certainly than could a man with a gun.
