Problems seem to be developing all over the world for conservation workers as the Covid-19 pandemic spreads (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/28/wildlife-rescue-centres-struggle-to-treat-endangered-species-in-coronavirus-outbreak-aoe). Funding for these activities often depends on ecotourists and those have largely disappeared. In addition, the movements of the conservationists themselves (for shopping for food and equipment as well as visiting the animals) has been greatly curtailed. It's not looking good for many formerly viable programmes.
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.
