Research and environmental protection

Abstract

Today many people have become critically conscious of their environment. They recognise much more clearly than just a few years ago the negative effects of civilisation. A wide range of suggestions on how to get on with the job of managing the environment has been advanced. This includes reasonable and feasible recommendations as well as Utopian suggestions and unqualified statements liable to spread a panic, often completely disregarding the most basic facts of life and natural science. More often than not successful achievements are deliberately ignored or played down, or they are largely unknown — a fact which often comes to light when we discuss the subject with visitors and guests — probably also because good results don't usually make good headlines.
