BI7: Green and pleasant land?

After a few weeks spent everywhere from Indonesian forests to the waters off the the south-east coast of the USA, this week's infographic is part one of a two-part look at the current and potential future state of conservation and the countryside in the UK. As I say in the infographic, there is a lot to be positive about in the UK, and this will appear in next week's post. However, there is also much cause for concern. A more detailed version of this infographic can be found at http://biodiversityinfographics.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/bi7b-green-and-pleasant-land-in-detail.html - that version is more 'illustrated article' than 'infographic', though!
