Having birds in the head

  • I want to make a little proposal to you: think about birds. Birds express very well the level of biodiversity.

12 November 2020 - 12:07

Naturally, I am a naturalist. What we have heard and said many times. Those of us who say that lightly are destroying our environment little by little, little by little or at high speed: chemicals, old stems anyway, destruction of hedges, giant garbage, killer pollution...

The biodiversity on which our health is based is increasingly scarce and in some places very deficient. As long as we continue on that path, ours is going to get worse.

We are witnessing numerous initiatives that seek to enrich biodiversity. The ones that interest me most are the ones that take place in the most urban environments. The oppression and destruction of nature originates from it. Hence the concept of food, the environment, the rural environment, nature, etc., are the axes upon which the plans and policies affecting the whole territory are implemented. There we have to influence, and I am not going to say anything new: small actions, we need to create in many places: urban gardens, domestic gardens, responsible consumption, renewable energies... In other words, the sovereignty of all levels is not just political, that is, that of politicians.

We must not wait for anyone’s term of office. Come together and act to achieve what is the only way to improve our future. Let's give something. What we are doing is the only starting point that can put upside down the road of oppression and destruction of nature, the support point of the lever that can pour the current trend.

If you like plants and you have fruit trees, the forest, the garden, the orchard, the tits or any other corner, I want to make a little proposal: think about birds. Birds express very well the level of biodiversity. Difficulties are frequent in the construction and feeding of their nests, especially in large cities. The appropriate vegetation will provide them with food, water and protection: nesting branches, flowers and branches that will attract the insects they eat, foliage that will house them, sweet fruits and edible seeds. If we add a little bit of water and a bathroom bucket, it stands out.

It's not hard. When you have to make a plantation, have birds in your head.
