"World's Landscapes May Soon Be 'Devoid of Wild Animals', Warns Conservationist"

A decade-long campaign to protect wildlife around the world is facing its toughest challenge yet, according to nature photographer Margot Raggett. Her Remembering Wildlife series has raised over £1.2m for conservation efforts since 2015, but she now fears that the future looks bleaker than ever.

Raggett's concern stems from the alarming rate of wildlife decline globally. "The rate of wildlife decline is so rapid across the world and there's a lot of work to be done to reverse it," she warned. Her latest project, Ten Years of Remembering Wildlife, features original and altered images of animals living in their natural habitats – some of which are being scrubbed out altogether.

Raggett believes that if current trends continue, landscapes may soon be devoid of wild animals. "We really could be looking at a future where these landscapes would be without these wild animals," she said, highlighting the urgent need for action.

While Raggett has spent most of her photography career abroad, she is increasingly concerned about the situation in the UK. The government's plans to build 1.5m new homes by the end of its first term have been met with dismay from environmental campaigners. "What everyone needs to understand is that we are all intertwined with nature," Raggett said. "It's very easy in a built-up country like ours to not understand the part every species plays in our ecosystem, how they keep our trees growing and the impact that has on clearing carbon from the atmosphere."

Raggett called for a "massive pause" on the government's plans, citing the need for more sustainable development. She also highlighted the ongoing issue of poaching, particularly in Asia where demand for rhino horns remains high. "Poaching is still a huge criminal industry and it's not going anywhere," she said.

As Raggett continues to advocate for wildlife conservation, she remains hopeful that there are enough people who care about the cause. Her latest project serves as a timely reminder of the urgent need for action – both locally and globally.
 
omg u no how worried i am about this 🐰💔 landscapes r going 2 be desolate 🌎 if we dont do sumthin about it!! conservationist margot raggett is right we cant just sit back n watch wildlife decline like theres no tomorrow 🕰️ her work is inspiring me 2 take action 🤝 i wish ppl would realize how intertwined they r w/ nature 🌿💚 we need 2 slow down n think about the impact of our actions on the planet 🌎📦 massive pause 4 now pls 😅
 
🐝 I think it's kinda crazy that we're at this point where wildlife decline is so bad that we might lose entire landscapes 🌍... like, have you seen some of Margot Raggett's pics? They're heartbreaking 😔... and it's not just about the animals, it's us too - our ecosystem's all connected, ya know? 🌿💚
 
Wow, landscapes without wild animals? That's crazy! 🌳😱 Interesting how conservationists like Margot Raggett are sounding the alarm on wildlife decline. The UK government's new home plans are definitely a concern, but what about the impact of poaching in Asia? Rhino horns still have a huge demand... we need more sustainable development ASAP! 💚
 
I'm tellin' ya, it's all about the big corporations man 🤑 They're always lookin' for ways to increase their profits, no matter what it means for the planet 🌎. I mean, think about it, 1.5m new homes in the UK? That's a lot of development, and it's only goin' to lead to more deforestation and habitat destruction 🌳. And don't even get me started on poaching... I'm pretty sure it's all connected to the black market trade, you know? 🤐 Maybe Margot Raggett is onto somethin' here... we need to wake up and smell the coffee ☕️ before it's too late.
 
🐾💔 I'm getting really worried about this... if current trends keep up, our world might be left with hardly any wildlife 🌎😱. It's not just about animals, it's about the whole ecosystem - trees, air quality, you name it. We can't ignore the impact of human actions on nature anymore 🤦‍♀️. I mean, have we learned from all the conservation efforts like Raggett's Remembering Wildlife series? 💸 We need more sustainable development and a massive pause on these new home builds 🏠💨. Poaching is still a huge problem too... it's time for us to step up! 👊
 
🌎💔 I'm literally heartbroken when I think about the future of our planet's landscapes being "devoid of wild animals". 🐰😢 It's like, we're just gonna lose all that beauty and magic? Margot Raggett's project is so inspiring, but it also makes me super anxious. We gotta act NOW! 🕒

I feel like we're at this critical point where we have to choose between progress and preserving nature. It's not a battle between economic growth and conservation – I think they can coexist! 🤝 We just need to find that balance.

The poaching issue is so sad, and it's still happening? 🐘😔 Rhino horns being in high demand is crazy talk. And the UK's plans for more homes... 🏠😬 I get it, we need places to live, but not at the expense of our planet's well-being.

I'm with Margot on this one – a "massive pause" on new developments and sustainable practices all around is what we need! 🌱👍
 
I'm getting really worried about all these animals being gone from our planet 🐰😱. I mean, it's already bad enough that we're losing so many species because of climate change and pollution, but now this? It's like, what's the point of having a beautiful landscape if there's no wildlife to enjoy in it? 🌄💔 I feel like we need to make some serious changes, like, right now. We can't just keep building more homes without thinking about how it's affecting the environment and all the creatures that live here 🏠🌿. It's like, what Margot Raggett said - "we are all intertwined with nature". I'm not sure I fully understand that yet, but it sounds kinda deep 😂. Anyway, I think we should all just... I don't know, slow down a bit and think about the consequences of our actions 🤔💭?
 
I'm getting really worried about our planet's future 🌎😟... it's crazy to think that we might be losing all wild animals from landscapes in just a decade 🐰😱. We need to take Margot Raggett's warnings seriously and make some major changes ASAP ⏰. I mean, who needs 1.5m new homes when you're talking about saving species? 🤯 It's time for us to think bigger than just our own backyard – we gotta care about the world outside too 🌍️.

I love how Raggett emphasizes the importance of understanding our interconnectedness with nature 🌿... it's easy to forget that every single species plays a vital role in keeping our ecosystem balanced. We can't just sit back and let poaching, deforestation, and climate change run wild (pun intended) – we gotta take action NOW 💪. I'm holding out hope that Raggett's project will inspire more people to get involved and make a difference 🌈.
 
I'm seriously worried about our planet right now 🌎😩. It's crazy to think that we might be living in a world without wild animals, where landscapes are just barren spaces. I mean, what's the point of having nature if we're just gonna destroy it? 🤯 The thought of those beautiful trees and creatures being gone is too much for me to handle.

We need to take action now, not just talk about it 🗣️. We gotta think about how our actions affect the environment and the animals that live here. It's all connected, like Margot said - our ecosystems rely on wildlife to keep everything balanced. And yeah, I get it, building new homes is needed, but can't we find a way to do it without sacrificing nature? 🤔

It's not just about the UK either - this is a global issue that affects us all. We need to come together and fight for our planet's future. We gotta make some noise and demand change 🌟. I know some people might say we're too late, but what if we can't afford to wait? What if we have no choice but to lose everything? 😱
 
I'm so worried about this 🐒😔. It's like we're playing with fire by not taking care of our planet. I've seen pictures of those wild animals in their natural habitats, it's breathtaking 💚. But if we don't do something now, they might be gone forever 🌎. We need to wake up and realize that we're all connected to nature 🌿. Building more homes without thinking about the impact on the environment is just not right 🤔. We should be focusing on sustainable development, not just building for the sake of building 🏠. And poaching? It's like, come on guys! 💔 We need to put an end to that too. I'm with Margot Raggett all the way 👍. Let's make a change before it's too late ⏰.
 
I dont think its too late yet 🤞 . I mean we've seen some devastating effects on our planet but I still believe we can turn things around if we all work together 🌎. We just need to be more mindful of how our actions affect the wildlife 🐦 and find ways to live in harmony with nature, not against it 💚. Its easy to get caught up in building new homes and progress but lets remember that every small change can add up to make a big difference 🌱. Raggett's project is so inspiring and I love how she highlights the interconnectedness of our ecosystem 🌿. We just need more people like her who care and are willing to make some noise 🗣️
 
can we take a step back from all this 🙏 and just remember that humans and animals aren't mutually exclusive, right? 🐰🌿 we're like, super connected to nature and it affects us in so many ways... like have you ever really looked at a tree or a mountain without thinking about how it's gonna get destroyed someday? 😔 anyway, i'm not saying everything is doom and gloom. there are still plenty of ppl out there who care about wildlife and wanna make a difference 🌟 maybe we can all just try to be more mindful of our impact on the planet? 🤗
 
🌎 I'm getting really worried about our planet, you know? It's like, we're still using flip phones from 2019 📱 and now people are saying that maybe there won't be any wild animals left on our landscapes by the time I've finished paying off my student loans 🤯. Like, what even is the point of having a degree if we can just clear out all the wildlife? 🌳

And don't even get me started on poaching... it's like, super illegal and stuff 💔. But still, people are killing rhinos for their horns and it's just, no thanks 🙅‍♀️.

I guess what I'm saying is we need to take care of our planet, you know? Like, seriously, look at the pictures in Margot Raggett's project... they're beautiful 😍. We should be doing more than just taking pictures, though. We need to be out there making a difference 🌟.

I don't know, maybe I'm just old-fashioned and I've forgotten what it's like to live without Netflix 📺, but something feels really off about this whole situation. Let's just hope that people like Margot Raggett can keep pushing for change and we'll all be okay... 🤞
 
I'm getting this chill feeling down my spine thinking about all these wild animals just... disappearing 🌳💔. I mean, we're not even 10 years into the Remembering Wildlife campaign and already Margot Raggett is sounding the alarm that landscapes might be totally animal-free in the future? That's some heavy stuff. And you know what really gets me – it's like, our governments are building more homes left and right without thinking about how that affects the planet 🏠🌎. It's all about progress, I get it, but can't we find a way to make progress that doesn't harm nature? I'm all for sustainable development and reducing carbon footprints – let's make some changes, people! We're all connected to nature, like Margot said 👫💚
 
🐰😊 u no what's wild? i was just at the park yesterday with my dog and saw this weird thing growing on a tree... it was like a mushroom or something 🍄 but then i started thinking about how do trees even grow in cities? i mean, we're always trying to build more houses and stuff, but don't we forget that nature is still here? 🌳🏠 anyway, back to wildlife conservation... yeah, it's super concerning that there might not be any wild animals left soon 🐒😕
 
🐰😕 I'm really worried about what Margot Raggett is saying... it sounds like we're running out of time to protect our wildlife 🌎💨 She's right, the rate of decline is super rapid & we gotta do something ASAP 💪. The UK government's plans are a big part of the problem – building 1.5m new homes is huge & needs more thought before it happens 🤔. And on top of that, poaching is still a major issue 🐴😢. We can't just keep talking about it, we gotta take action & make some serious changes 💥. I'm keeping an eye on Margot's work – she's doing amazing things to raise awareness & funds for conservation 📸💕
 
i'm getting so worried about the future of our planet 🌎 it's like we're still living in the 90s, remember when conservation was all about saving pandas and elephants? now it's like they're making plans to wipe out wildlife altogether 🐻😱 and poaching is still a thing? what happened to us? i mean, i get that development is important but can't we find a way to do it without destroying the environment? 🤔
 
omg I'm like super worried about this 🤯... i mean think about it, our planet's already got its problems with climate change & pollution, now we're gonna lose our wildlife too? 🌎 what's next? are they gonna wipe out our bees 2? or maybe just let corporations control everything & we'll be left with nothin' but empty landscapes... 🤖 I'm seriously thinkin' there must be some kind of cover-up goin' on here... all these developments happenin' simultaneously, it's like the gov't is tryna distract us from somethin' bigger... 🤐
 
🌎😨 this is so depressing I mean what's going on with our planet? we're literally running out of wild animals and it's all because of human actions 🤦‍♀️ I feel like we should be doing more to help them not just talking about it 🗣️ conservation efforts are crucial and it's great that Margot Raggett is using her platform to raise awareness 📸 but it's time for us to take action too 👊 we need to make some changes in our daily lives to reduce our impact on the environment ⚠️ like reducing plastic use, recycling, and supporting sustainable development 🌿
