To many, the British countryside is the picture of natural beauty. Rolling hills. Open skies. Sheep grazing under the clouds. But look again. This isn’t nature. It’s what’s left of it.

The last native species cling to life on the margins while foreign domesticated animals dominate the landscape. The scattered trees that remain aren’t features — they’re survivors. They’re a warning.
