    According to a new report, a third of Europe's wild birds are under threat.

    It's depressing that a third of natural environments looked at have declined since 2006. I don't think humans are doing enough to protect wildlife, and it isn't getting any better if this report is anything to judge by.

    “The report clearly shows that Europe’s wildlife and natural habitats are in crisis,” said Andreas Baumueller, the head of WWF Europe’s natural resources unit. “Our habitats are slowly dying and our natural capital – reflected by species such as birds and butterflies – is being put under enormous pressure from unsustainable agriculture and land use policies.”

    Yeah... they got that idea from America. (American companies and the government they bought to be more exact)


    Depressing as hell...
