The report from the head of Natural England claiming that the creation of new national parks in England will help us counter climate change seems, to me, unduly optimistic (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/jul/31/englands-new-nature-reserves-will-help-us-tackle-global-heating). It may make a minor improvement (perhaps reduced somewhat by more folk driving their 4x4s to visit the locations) but I really think that the scale of required action is considerably greater than that.
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.
