There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Kevin Richardson:" To me conservation means keeping an open mind and being receptive to ideas or solutions that may sometimes not fit in your set of ideals. It’s about conserving naturally functioning ecosystems, from the smallest bug to the largest mammal (in balance) and not about the individual or a specific species only.(Some species get all the attention.) Considering the ever increasing human population, sometimes managing vast tracts of land results in making some really unpalatable and heart wrenching decisions. Ideally one shouldn’t have to intervene but how do you even begin to control human numbers especially in areas where vast tracts of land still contain biodiversity. A healthy ecosystem needs all the fauna and flora to be operating in equilibrium. On Wednesday I’ll be chatting live to a man who knows this all too well and has a very logical and balanced way of thinking. Stay tuned for more information about times. "
