Friday sketch: Britain is one of the most nature depleted countries in world according to the State of Nature report. Many wildlife species numbers have declined sharply in the last 50 years and if they continue on this trajectory, will be facing extinction. Some of the drivers are urban development, agricultural practices, invasive species and climate change.
Globally there is an ecological crisis with an estimated 17,000 to 100,000 species vanishing from our planet each year. This speed is much greater than the past and is driven by unsustainable human activities.
We are part of nature and depend on it. Humanity needs to change so we prioritise protecting and restoring our natural world over short term economic gain.
Friday sketches are a personal challenge I set myself to create at least one piece of personal artwork each week.
