Letter: Little natural landscape left, even in countryside

Published 23 April 2025

From Sam Edge, Ringwood, Hampshire, UK

I loved Menno Schilthuizen’s take on the (relatively) new urban natural history discoveries to be made. Unfortunately, he falls into the trap of thinking that only urbanites are living in landscapes that are “completely different from natural habitats”. The rural landscapes of Europe (especially the UK), North America and many other places are artificial too, and also almost exclusively created by Homo sapiens ().
