Springwatch presenter and naturalist warns of “an ecological apocalypse” in Britain. According to the broadcaster, Britain is a "green and unpleasant land" where the people have normalized a “national catastrophe.” He says: “It’s catastrophic and that’s what we’ve forgotten – our generation is presiding over an ecological apocalypse and we’ve somehow or other normalized it…We need a peaceful public uprising. We need people to say we’ve had enough. We do that every time there’s a terror attack. We need a similar movement for nature. We need people to stand up and say we want action now. We have the ability to fix our countryside.”
And this applies to the whole world –we have created this new normal where we’re just accepting our fate and not doing anything to make a change. Should we be satisfied with complacency or should we step up and truly something we can be proud of?
