However, we are rapidly reaching a point where we must reassess what we are doing, and make some conscious choices about how we deal with these so called pests. In fact, there are ways in which we may already have reached the turning point in our need to assess the situation. Our government has actually acknowledged that there may be something to all this flap about global warming. Personally, I am not certain that what we are doing is leading to actual global warming, but I am certain that we are impacting Nature detrimentally. 

That being said, there isn't a whole lot just one person or a family can do about it, is there? Well . . . . . .yes, there is. Which is the point of this page. Because we as a society have become so urbanized, we are taking away the habitat of our little wild ones. They are actually becoming more pesky in order to survive. Raccoons are digging in trash barrels, coyotes have been seen in suburbs looking for food, there is scientific evidence that bees are succumbing to some unknown force in our world and disappearing. If they become extinct, our world, as we know it, disappears. 

So, what can we do? The scientists are still looking for the reason for the disappearance of the bees, when they find the answers, if there is anything we can do, we will be encouraged and entreated to do it. However, in the meantime, there are small things we can do that will  enable many of the little Wild Ones to prosper. Among them are things like planting Nature Gardens or Wildlife Gardens. These little backyard habitats will encourage the little wild ones to live wild rather than become garbage scroungers.

Most of us think of a wildlife habitat as being some vast expanse of land and water as shown above at Sequoia Nat'l Park. But truly effective habitat gardens need not be large. Whatever amount of land you have and would garden anyway for your own pleasure, is quite enough to create a space for the little Wild Ones.
