Good news for all nature lovers.
For years London was known as the world capital with some of the best rubbish removal and waste management policies. In order to further develop the important field of junk collection, the administration of London is now turning to more serious considerations about recycling, and more precisely how it can improve the condition of wild life in the capital.
Among other things, London has a high concentration of open green spaces, parks, gardens and nature reserves, so this is an important step forward that is at the same time much needed.
In recent weeks, more and more London borough councils are turning their attention to the things that can be done in order to preserve wildlife in the extensive woodlands on the territory of the metropolis, like those in Richmond and Hyde Park. The clearing of trees that is going on there recently is actively affecting the balance of the ecosystem. The homes of great many insects are destroyed, but also those of larger animals, birds and mammals included, too.
The condition of the stag beetle is most serious actually. This type of beetle used to be very common in London green areas, but just like everywhere else in the world, today it is an endangered species.
This fact, coupled with a number of others, has got local administrators wondering what can be done in order to reverse the process. The solution lies in changing the waste management policies of boroughs and parks to more environment friendly ones. One strategy that is now actively employed is to retain dead wood in order to help insects find home easier. In addition to helping bugs, this will also increase the bird population of the areas where this practice is active, specialists say.
Other recycling strategies are also employed, and even though we are going to have to wait quite a bit in order to notice the long term effects of them, it is certain that they will be present. And the situation is going to change for good.
It is only natural that you would want to do your bit in helping keeping the balance of the environment in the area that you currently live in. This, as it turns out, is pretty easy to do and even highly encouraged by local councils. You can get in touch with the administration of the district you live in and get detailed information about how you can help.
The easiest and most common way is to bring dead trees you gather from your yard, or even your Christmas tree after the holiday season is over, to the park located nearest to you, so that it can be used for creating homes for insects. You can do that either by yourself, or contact your local rubbish removal company for the purpose. And even though it may seem like a pretty small step, you should never forget that permanent change is achieved namely this way – with constant small efforts by everyone.
