From an article in The Guardian by Chris Packham:
It’s time to rouse ourselves from this complacent stupor, because we are presiding over an ecological apocalypse. But it is not too late. There is hope we can hold on to, and there is action we can take.
I’ve been organising the first People’s Walk for Wildlife, which takes place in London this Saturday from midday. Everyone is invited – foresters, reserve wardens, teachers, students, children, scientists, artists, bloggers, activists, volunteers, gardeners. We are going to sing songs, play birdsong from the missing birds and share our love of all species.
One farmer quoted in the manifesto argues that we must all rethink the way we live, shop, cook and eat “so that we wean ourselves off the damaging farming that has fed us cheaply, but at an appalling price to nature”. The manifesto is only a first draft. Some ideas will be criticised. Many of you will have other great ideas. Let’s share them, debate them, and take decisive steps to save the wildlife that enriches every single one of us.

It hasn't/won't work with anything. People getting together round a cause, feeding off each other's energy and then talking to others about it.
Let's all stay in silos and ignore anything outside our immediate area.0 -

What about the fact that our plant and animal species are literally going extinct?2 -

No of course not, without them Roland would never have left... oh! hang on

What of it?0 -
If people have nothing to offer than negativity and sniping comments, don't bother posting.
It's hard to change the planet-wrecking agenda of the capitalists. But change comes with concerted effort. I'm hoping to make a difference by posting info on Charlton Life about this walk and the Manifesto - and other things that challenge injustice.

Wildlife is under ever increasing pressure and anything which can highlight this is a good thing. A flourishing eco-system and bio-diversity are crucial to our own survival.
Two very good books which show how important nature is for the economy, health and well-being of the world are written by Tony Juniper, they are 'What nature does for Britain' and 'What has nature ever done for us?'.
