Other letters include one from the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation and there are those concerning the ever present threat of pesticides.

                                                             We've had a few letters telling us perhaps rightly enough that whilst working under this heading we actually cover everything but.   The problem is that world events happen and we either cover them or we don't, the letters we get too are not always about the current subject matters and we either print those or we don't.   It's not altogether true in any case, bees that we've included quite extensively although worldwide certainly concerns Britain's biodiversity, so too was the carcass story we mentioned last time and again in the next report, wind-farms, a major reason for our bird declines in recent years, tidal-energy, again will have the potential for either good or bad on our own biodiversity depending on how things develop etc.   We do all we can do but can't always keep rigidly to the subject matter or we'd miss out a great many other important issues if we did.

This we are continuing with and in this report you will read about a new and sinister twist of events that are unfolding around these iconic animals.   Now with well over 200,000 contacts on our own mailing list we are able to create quite an impact; please read the latest on this one to see what you can personally do.

                                                             A fairly scantily written piece so far but very informative nonetheless for those of you who may want to find the safer foods for your pets (please see the second attached).   For those of you who take the trouble write to the companies involved, and I hope you do, they will claim that the additives they use are EU. permitted and that they are used according to strict guidance, the words and sentiments that reflects the same cringe-worthiness that sustainability shows these days.   Best to reply to that otherwise they'll think they've won you over.

                                                             We've stated our concerns about this before in the Plant Forests and Make a Fortune paper.   And although issues such as species loss and desertification have been raised, things are not going away or improving which is why we are now stepping things up a notch from a statement to a hard-hitting campaign.   Anyone who read the forest paper will realise this is only the tip but it's as good a place as any to start with.

                                                             We've had a few letters telling us perhaps rightly enough that whilst working under this heading we actually cover everything but.   The problem is that world events happen and we either cover them or we don't, the letters we get too are not always about the current subject matters and we either print those or we don't.   It's not altogether true in any case, bees that we've included quite extensively although worldwide certainly concerns Britain's biodiversity, so too was the carcass story we mentioned last time and again in the next report, wind-farms, a major reason for our bird declines in recent years, tidal-energy, again will have the potential for either good or bad on our own biodiversity depending on how things develop etc.   We do all we can do but can't always keep rigidly to the subject matter or we'd miss out a great many other important issues if we did.

This we are continuing with and in this report you will read about a new and sinister twist of events that are unfolding around these iconic animals.   Now with well over 200,000 contacts on our own mailing list we are able to create quite an impact; please read the latest on this one to see what you can personally do.

For those of you who take the trouble write to the companies involved, and I hope you do, they will claim that the additives they use are EU. permitted and that they are used according to strict guidance, the words and sentiments that reflects the same cringe-worthiness that sustainability shows these days.   Best to reply to that otherwise they'll think they've won you over.

And although issues such as species loss and desertification have been raised, things are not going away or improving which is why we are now stepping things up a notch from a statement to a hard-hitting campaign.   Anyone who read the forest paper will realise this is only the tip but it's as good a place as any to start with.
