There
is an Indian legend, which says:
When
a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into a
higher realm.
At the head of that bridge waits every animal the human encountered
during his or her lifetime. The animals, based upon what they
know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge
... and which are turned away.
 Welcome
to VeggieGlobal's Local Wildlife Care Across the Continents site.
We will be constantly adding to this site as area-specific information
becomes available from all corners of the world.
The
UK and Ireland section is full of useful information
and resources. Much of the information found in the UK section is
relevant to many temperate regions of the world, so you may find
plenty of information useful to your local environment.

The
mission of this VeggieGlobal mini-site:
Since humans continue to destroy so much wildlife and natural environments,
it is the duty of every citizen with a conscience to supplement
the habitat and diet of the world's dwindling wildlife population
... starting with the visitors to your own back yard.
For example, in the United Kingdom & much of Europe the bird
population has decreased by 60%, whilst the world's amphibian population
is rapidly declining by 2% per year.
Global Warming is also contributing to the decline of wildlife.
The northern latitudes of Canada, Russia and Scandinavia, where
warming is predicted to be most rapid, up to 70 percent of habitat
could be lost. Russia, Canada, Kyrgystan, Norway, Sweden, Finland,
Latvia, Uruguay, Bhutan and Mongolia are likely to loose 45 per
cent or more of current habitat while many coastal and island species
will be at risk from the combined threat of warming oceans, rising
sea-levels and range shifts.
Of course, you can find more information about the global decline
of earth's wildlife and natural environments on many areas of VeggieGlobal
and Looking-Glass ... but instead of just reading about it, find
out here how you can help to do something about it yourself.
We aim to provide
you with concisely researched advice on what foods, habitats and
garden environments will most suit the wildlife in your area. With
this information and your action we hope to revive local wildlife
environments, and with it the visitors to your garden.
Please choose
an area closest to your country using the countries / continent
menu.
