http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A1132534 This link has some interesting info. & try the quiz here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3747588.stm
Have a look what the government are not doing here http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment/water/conserve/what.htm
The link below is good too (sorry its such a long one!) I am suffering from boiling blood over the government's short sighted environmental policies (don't get me started on their housing policies! - Our own local authority is building new "luxury" housing along the banks of our river on a bloody floodplain!!!)

Bayleaf local developers turned the privately owned orchards and gardens behind us, which had a variety of fantastic wildlife, in to this...

Which is why I created my jungle to block it out!

 

That's bloody heartbreaking (I'd be tempted to hop over the fence & scatter a load of seeds)- If you planted something rare & reported it you might get the site protected or get in touch with http://www.guerrillagardening.org/
...Yes I know, dream on.....Money always wins over people/nature. The fat cats get fatter, the rest of us get high blood pressure...

Unfortunatley it now looks like this :(



Can't see it through the jungle downstairs but upstairs you can since they lopped the cherries (contentious ownership!) :rolleyes:
