At a time when the world faces both a climate and nature emergency, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife trust (HIWWT) has launched its ambitious Wilder Strategy for the coming decade to confront the challenges faced in the county. It aims to increase both the numbers of people getting active in supporting nature’s recovery and the amount of land and water environments where nature is given priority.
When we come face to face with wildlife in unexpected places or circumstances, our emotional responses can vary from one of fear, to wonderment, uncertainty, or even privilege. Bears, penguins, arctic foxes and whales have all provided moments that have stayed long and vividly in my mind.
Maybe we easily take it for granted because it’s all too familiar, but one can usually discover an astonishing amount of interest in and around one’s local area with a little bit of effort.
