Local farmers care about wildlife and manage there lands to encourage arable birds because of this action we have seen a increase in flocks of rare corn buntings something like one-tenth of the population of corn buntings over wintered.
If these fields ever became new housing developments we could say goodbye corn buntings.

Individual actions can make a lot of difference.This is one of the reasons why gardening to aid wildlife is so important.
Climate change is meaning that creatures and plants are having to move north some of them won’t make it,if we provide as many green corridors as possible some of them will.
The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and the Wildlife Trust are increasingly turning their attention to safegaurding existing wildlife corridors,large wwods,areas of farmland and rivers and to buying land to protect and extend these wherever possible
Our own gardens can do a lot to help buffer that green corridor,providing havens for birds,insects and plants.But we need to to preserve and fight for these.
We have all seen areas of land being covered in concrete and new developments and recent Town Planning showed clearly how the majority of us do not want more large-scale developments and care deeply about our green spaces for relaxation and exercise for the whole family.
