Thank you Shalagh - that is a good point that nature doesn't have a voice in politics. Some companies are introducing a place for nature at the boardroom table, but really we need to be considering the consequences of all political decisions.

I'm not familiar with Thomas Dolby's work - do you have a link you can recommend? Sounds fascinating!

Seems he came from a scholarly family in which he was the only one without a degree and so finally jokingly, he’s legitimized. https://binged.it/4fHqnWu
