●A couple of years ago we heard news that 50% of all vertebrate species had disappeared in 40 years.
●On Thursday, we were greeted with news that by 2020 the figure is likely to rise to 66% of all vertebrates.
●It is no wonder that the conservationists are shouting.
●It is no wonder that they are so desperate to get their message heard.
●Animals, it seems, are on the way out.
●And no one appears to much care.
●So, allow me to entertain the idea of a post-animal Britain.
●Could we make the best of this world, in true Theresa May fashion? Are animals, perhaps, all a bit overrated?Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad?
●Sure, there would be some tough choices at first.
●One particularly pressing matter would be finding a way to cross-pollinate flowering crops.
●As is well known, trees and insects co-evolved, the plants offering a sugary reward to insects in return for their pollination services.
●How might we achieve this without bees and flies?
●Simple.
●The problem of cross-fertilisation could quite simply be solved by robots or people on day release from jail (or even children who don’t get into grammar schools).
●They could be made to hand-fertilise flowers.
●They could be like little unthinking bees.
