Hare survey - Habitat is the answer

RIGHT around the world habitat depletion – human activity in one form or another – represents the single greatest threat facing wildlife.

Anyone who looks will see that the vast mono-cultures that define modern food production leave little room for many of the birds, animals, plants or insects that once populated these single-crop prairies. This is as much a consequence of economics as agriculture and we all are, to a greater or lesser degree, culpable.

But, as a study by Queen’s University Belfast has shown, there is much we can do to help wildlife.
