Habitat lost is one of the major factors in wildlife decline. Wildlife thrives when it has food and water, a safe place to live and space to reproduce. Changing habitats have a massive impact on the status quo. That one tree that you have removed may be a maternity roost for bats, a safe space for an owl or food for a dormouse. It will have an impact on the populations that depend on it and cause their decline and even death.
Until we start to recognise the value of other species in our lives we will continue to see their decline and eventual extinction. Wildlife is declining at a rapid rate, a rate a 1000 times faster than ever before in our history. We must rethink our changing landscapes. It is obvious that a scorched earth policy in development will be detrimental but we must also look at the way we change our green spaces as the impact can be just as devastating. Tree crops are planted with growth to harvest times varying from 10 years to 80 years. Habitats that has been in place for 80 years and then suddenly moved will have a dramatic effect on the rest of the fauna and flora, just like any concrete building the sudden change will spell death for many of those creature. Imagine if over night you lose your home, your food source and your water, it would be a national disaster.
Planting schemes if not used inline with the existing flora and fauna will not help the wildlife that has made a home there. Fungi and invertebrates are sensitive in their needs but are not taken into accounts yet that may be the vital part of the food chain we are removing.
We look at our landscapes and enhance existing features to support the existing wildlife. They are managed and planted for wildlife.
