Disturbing news that Poland's Government has reportedly approved large scale logging in Europe's last primeval forest (www.theguardian.com/environmental/2016/mar/26/poland-approves-large-scale-logging-in-europes-last-primeval-forest). This short-sighted development, will not only decimate a unique environment (surely with economic attractions for natural history enthusiasts) but is a big negative in terms of trying to deal with carbon emissions and climate change. This is likely to be another reflection of the short-termism that blights politics.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
