>You know Ken up there in Alaska you don't seem to understand what modern
agriculture is doing to butterfly populations. Over here in the UK recent
research, including the world's largest ever butterfly survey, shows that
over 70% of our butterfly species have delined over the last 20 years and
they were declining long before that. We have also lost around 98% of the
flower rich meadows.

Less habitat = fewer animals.  Considering the difference in size between
Alaska and the U.K., maybe Neil should do more listening and far less
preaching.
