Geoff Lawton's 'greening the desert' project is extremely interesting and viable. Growing food in cities is catching on. The Garth Hillside Organic Garden is an outstanding example of volunteer-driven permaculture, local to me. Small farms and orchards are popping up everywhere. Turning disused buildings to indoor food growing is certainly worth investigating. RSPB do so much to protect land from destructive development. Introducing schools to gardening is a great idea. Conservation and habitat creation are the way to go. Rewilding is equally worth pursuing. The 'slow the flow' movement are working hard to reduce lowland flooding by upland reforesting. Permaculture is a force for good.

Great idea to plant trees but why not lowland as well as upland. Trees take up gallons of water every day?

Cloud forest reigns everywhere and dominates the landscape. The built environment is integrated lovingly within it. There are no more bare hills or vast monoculture deserts any more. Careful land management has created systems for harvesting rainwater, catching and storing it from hilltop to lowland. Floods are hugely alleviated, as the ground is now so much more absorbent. The crime of Ecocide has put untold irresponsible billionaires and corporations forever behind bars. Permaculture is the norm. Biodynamic and organic methods are mainstream. We eat far less meat and rely on wild high-welfare animals for what meat we do eat, with a deep respect for these creatures. We are one with nature.

Whilst tree planting schemes are obviously necessary, thought must be given to the aftercare. The number of new trees planted near me that die in the first year because they aren't watered in the summer droughts is heartbreaking to witness...

We are part of nature. It's not just a trendy addition to the urban norm, it's who we are and where we come from. I love the sheer diversity of animals and plants and fungi, I marvel at how they have come to be as they are, what they must have gone through to achieve their current form. I feel at peace and greatly healed when I'm out and about in the wild. If it disappeared, well, we'd be dead, and would arrive there in excruciating agony of body mind and spirit.

Land that is currently reserved for privileged recreation like grouse and deer shooting estates has been rewilded. Farming in in the uplands has also been shifted towards supporting nature and more land is left unmanaged. Key species reintroductions like beavers, lynx and bison have altered the habitats available to wildlife and restored degraded ecosystems. We all try to take a more hands off approach to living alongside nature rather than controlling it and we benefit from both ecosystem services and the wellbeing that comes from seeing nature thrive.

Couldn’t agree more. We need to learn to live with nature more and not treat it as an added luxury

I love seeing the plants and animals around me going about their daily errands, either mundane or strange to me. It reminds me that the World is bigger than current events or my immediate concerns.
We are part of nature. It is not something we can choose to dispense with and might 'miss' but can do without. Nature encompasses us and everything we value.

The sound of insects and birds

The number of birds around the houses where I have lived over the last 70 years ha plummeted. It is so sad. There seem to be even fewer now than there were last year. I am sure there are are many, many householders who would welcome simple and practical ideas, along with sources of advice to try to encourage birdlife recovery.

Farmers coming together or trying it alone, to protect, restore or create nature on their land. Despite being some of the hardest working people with the responsibility to produce our food, they are committing more and more to nature. support from businesses and government is improving this and should carry on getting better.

I love seeing projects where people are working to enhance the wildlife value of a space. I've seen:
Local people managing the heath near my village.
School children planting flowers for insects at a nature reserve.
My children's school teachers, children and families working to create new pond habitats in the their school grounds.
My family creating wildflower areas in the garden, mini ponds, log piles, hedgehog feeding stations, long grass spaces.
Farmers leaving edges of fields near waterways to minimise runoff to improve water quality.
Rewilding projects on farms that have / are creating amazing spaces for wildlife.
Education projects on beaches to protect nesting birds and seals.

Education is the key. When children learn about the importance of looking after nature they will grow up with the respect needed to keep their planet healthy. Thank goodness so many people have already realised the importance of this - small steps lead to big ones - let’s keep going forward together.

Green space being used for development destruction of natural habitats. Stop building in places already overcrowded use brown sites
Flag inappropriate

While development of existing brownfield sites is preferable to the concreting of virgin green spaces, ‘infill’ development in urban areas (eg. when gardens are turned over to housing) is just as damaging to the wildlife species that rely on the green corridors such gardens (once) provided. It’s far from a simple issue…

I am a councillor. It is becoming so difficult to stop large developers from building on the precious green spaces. I have witnessed the destruction of wildlife and along with my electorate have fought against developers and the government. Pressure is placed on local planning authorities to release green field sites for development. Gardens are lost under extensions and local councillors are ignored. We will fight to protect our wildlife, habitats and flora and fauna.

I would love to see more wildlife in our country by 2050. I want to see clouds of butterflies; hear a variety of bird calls across the countryside - not just confined to nature reserves; have loads of insects stuck to the front of my car like they used to when I was a child; know that hedgehog populations are thriving; see a variety of wildflowers when walking through the countryside; have quality wildlife rich green spaces in towns and cities. Space needs to be managed to allow wildlife to thrive. Pesticides need to be used less by farmers and possibly not at all by gardeners. The land needs to be viewed as a ecosystem to balance not just space to be exploited.

We have realised that we cannot thrive without nature thriving. And so, protection and restoration has become the first priority with every human project, from development to social justice. We have torn ourselves away from the short-term mindset that cannot account for nature, and by taking a longer view we are able to see nature protection as a sacred investment that ensures the long-term viability of the project which can be enjoyed by the current and future generations alike. Nature isn't seen as a barrier that gets in the way, rather the source of all prosperity that should be nurtured.

I like this difference, how nature has become a core component of any and all projects, in the same way that budget is. To support this, our national values around nature have also changed, in the same way they have recently around LGBTQ. In 2050, it will be taboo to disrespect nature.

I would miss the beauty and meaning of planet Earth that arise from the wonderful harmony of the innumerable and intricate interconnections between all things. The hum of life across a multi-coloured meadow in the height of summer as the bees hurriedly go about collecting nectar and pollinating the flowers to create the next generation, is what I would miss most.
Nature just is, it doesn't ask for anything, it doesn't judge nor condemn. This calms us, gives us perspective and allows us to connect with our true compassionate humanity. Without it we will become lost in ego, self-centredness and anxiety. We are nothing without Nature.
