“Britain’s wildlife is in an increasingly fragile state, with animals carrying out vital jobs for farmers being lost more rapidly than others, say scientists.
Species that pollinate crops or fight pests are at risk of disappearing, putting food production in jeopardy, according to the team.
The research brings together millions of wildlife records spanning 40 years.
The picture that emerges is of an increasingly fragile system, particularly in species that do vital jobs for humans. …
” … Unless efforts are made to reverse some of these declines, we face a future where we will be less confident that we can effectively grow our food.”

We all know the solution to this and all our problems is to build, build and build. Tourists to Devon of the future will be queuing up to visit our vast housing estates and concreted over fields. As for our insects and wildlife, they will just have to move elsewhere but probably not in England as very little countryside will be left. What a wonderful future we will all have to endure!!!
