"The destruction of the wild places where the species live is even more damaging than the extinctions themselves. And it is increasingly clear that this threatens even more of an economic crisis than an ecological one. For the world's economies are wholly owned subsidiaries of the environment."

From the article at The Telegraph by Geoffrey Lean

The best summation of the purpose of this blog is on the page linked to at the top, "Basic Premise" Beyond that, I post random thoughts and musings from Wit's End, a little farm I share with a dog, 2 indoor cats and 2 barn cats, a flying squirrel (Whippersnapper), Sun Conure (Bird), African Grey (Simon), a dozen chickens, a pair of peafowl, sundry koi in the pond, and various wildlife visitors, most notoriously among them, a voracious fox.
