Thanks for interesting comments on the extinction blogs of the past few days.

And I'm grateful to one of my colleagues for pointing me in the direction of this EU survey of what EU residents think about biodiversity.  It's an interesting read (although a little out of date - from 2007).  But if you don't want to read it, then here are a few questions to test your guessing power and the answers will appear on Christmas Day.

In which EU country are people most concerned about biodiversity loss in their own country? 

Do the people of Italy, Germany, France or the UK take global biodiversity loss the most seriously? 

What are the strongest reasons, according to the EU public, for protecting nature? 

Which EU country has the highest proportion of its inhabitants claiming to make personal efforts to save biodiversity?

In which EU country is awareness of the Natura 2000 network the lowest?

 

Ho, ho, ho! 

 

A love of the natural world demonstrates that a person is a cultured inhabitant of planet Earth.
