SELECTED LINKS: OTHER ITEMS
Some of you no doubt may wonder why I have an Other Items section on Birding Site Guide at all, or at least why I have articles not related to the natural world in there. Fair point. To explain I have to say the natural world is under so much threat and pressure now as never before, and the reason for this is clear, it is you and me, us humans. But even with the pressure from billions of humans things could and should be far better for the natural world than they are. The reason things are so dire is down to simple greed. Greed of the consumer, greed of the manufacturer, greed of the politician and greed of the worker. Unless you are the Dalai Lama, you are not immune to greed at some point in your life, ok, no one is perfect and the odd time won’t matter. Unfortunately we are however in a situation where the people running the show are addicted to greed and these are the people we find in high places of politics and business. Together they force the capitalist machine at a frightening and lunatic pace, paying no heed whatsoever to the human or animal casualties along the way, it is a run-away train. They may end up with all the money in the world, but it will never pay for the beautiful planet they destroyed, the fresh air they once breathed and the clean water flowing down the mountain streams.
So these articles are written to highlight the threats to the natural world from these greed addicts and from you and me, in the hope that people will come to their senses and try and preserve what we have while we still can.
Note & Disclaimer: I do not claim to believe some of the information in the articles, particularly conspiracy type ones. They are only included here for completeness and because I found them interesting. It is not an endorsement of them. They offer another point of view but you should as always weigh different views and come to your own conclusions. Anyone finding a link on this page to their website, who does not wish it to appear here, only has to contact me via ‘Contact Us’ on the website, and I will remove it.
