It's not just the Dodo. Apparently, at least 8 species of birds, mainly located in the rainforests of the Amazon, have become extinct (largely following deforestation) this decade (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/sep/04/first-eight-bird-extinctions-of-the-21st-century-confirmed). Just imagine how many species of bacteria, fungi, plants and insects have been lost in the same period.
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.
