Preservation of Nature; G20 and others
Posted on | April 1, 2009 |
It’s not often I find myself dashing a tear from the eye, being British by birth, but I had to today. The creation of the South Downs Park, 657 square miles of Britain’s loveliest and most threatened open space, has finally come about. It only took 60 years. If you want to see just what has been preserved from housing estates and shopping malls then go to www.guardian.co.uk where you’ll be treated to 17 glorious photos of just some of the features, from the white cliffs of the Seven Sisters to the Iron Age hill fort of Chanctonbury. So while it’s a huge relief that these spaces of natural beauty have been saved (which includes such things as the entire town of Lewes, for example) we need to note how long it took to do this. We can’t afford to mess around for 60 years again. If the meeting of the twenty industrial nations styled as G20 today has any value at all it could be to let us know that such delays are no longer feasible, or sane. Natural beauty; when it’s gone, it’s gone. The planet, if it’s to be saved, can’t wait around too much longer.Category: Uncategorized
