More the suggestion of introducing them with which I took issue. Interestingly for a Cambridge undergraduate social sciences project - and therefore one would hope at a sophisticated and free-thinking level - for me it showed that the interventionist panacea of native wildlife introduction/enhancement was now so well ingrained that it is a default and there is now a snowball's chance in hell that anyone will realise the correct approach is buy more land for nature, don't concrete existing land, don't poison land, don't cut down vegetation, reduce development, etc.....
😮😮😪😪😪
Edit - I have just amused myself by wondering what the reaction would have been to the suggestion back in the mid/late 80s at the Alma Brewery from the birding undergraduates at the time! A lively discussion would have ensued.
All the best
