Wilderness

    I have mixed feelings about nature reserves. On the one hand, I think we should be bringing nature back into our cities and farms, rather than having a few ‘green lungs’ away from the concrete jungle to escape to. On the other hand, when I experience vast areas of wilderness where all of life can flourish, I am convinced that nature reserves are essential. Today, I was in the Kruger National Park, which is two-thirds the size of Belgium. To give other species a chance to survive and thrive, we desperately need these sanctuaries for life, protected from humans.
