Your article promoting over 5,000 English sites can be dangerous from planning reforms attached to decisions regarding the decisions of the use of land (Revelation: 5,000 English Nature Sites at risk below labor planning suggestions, 3 June). Our new citizen science project, Last havenHosting the University of Oxford, explores accurate tensions. What happens when the last known residence for a endangered species stands in a manner of important human development? We presented participants simplified, hypothetical scenarios, such as a hospital to make the sanctuary of the wild species of the wild species through the priorities of people by the priorities of people by priorities to people.
Our job suggests the importance of nature as an important factor of human development and mental health. However housing and infrastructure access is also important for good and security. These cases that challenge mental can help open values and beliefs that lead people when facing choices between ecological preservation and human needs.
Our greater hypothesis is that human growth and the welfare of non-human mundane connected. Understanding how people can see this relationship helps to inform more ethical laws. As the UK considers the future of frameworks in planning it, we hope that those who make these important decisions, and honestly we are all, reflect on values.

Your article makes reading well for the future of some of our most important wild places. Some years ago, while engaged in a successful fight to forestall planning for an intrusive power line overland from the Ullapool to beauly in the north-west highlands, my group, highlands before pylons, was accused of nimbyism – a term now widely used to imply a blinkered, backward-looking approach to NECESSARY PROGRESS.
I asked a scholar friend if we needed to subssi the word nimby. He suggests a tweak acronym to Nimbie: “Not in my beautiful, unreachable environment.” Maybe the shepherd and its readers can make a new trend.

As a northwestern native, I don’t know if it’s fun or disappointed about it. Pleased because no one of our northern jewelry was held but disappointed because, as usual, all investments go to the south-east.
