I agree. I live in an inner city area, where I know of several open spaces. To some people these areas are as close to nature as thewy can get, and as such they need to be precerved. I know 'brownfield land' is useful to nature, quite often these areas have only been in existance to them for a while - the creatures/birds can then relocate (unless they are rare, then further work needs to be done for preservation) and perhaps these can take the pressure off long-standing woods and open spaces that have long been home to wildlife?

People say we need to go green - energy efficiency, lower our greenhouse gas emmisions, etc -
But how can we truly 'go green' whilst destroying wildlife and green spaces???
