Animals of Farthing Wood

Hi Everyone,

So, I have recently been using YouTube to re-watch classical shows from my childhood. Bear in the Big Blue House, Story Makers, Come Outside. Old shows bringing a sense of nostalgia for me as a 90s kid. Well, then I found a gem, my favourite show when I was a child, that I lost 14 years ago and I have finally found again: Animals of Farthing Wood.

If you have not seen this show, every episode is available on YouTube and I would advise you go and check them out. It is a powerful show, carrying sombre messages about how humans across Europe mistreat nature. The sad part is that many of this show's 'evils', such as the destruction of animal's habitats, pheasant shoots and the aggression towards animals shown by some humans in towns, still happen today, nearly 20 years after the show's final episode aired. Recently, the British government declared they were to build 85,000 houses in the next 11 years, 'some' of which will be built on Green Belt land. The EU needs to reform its plans, and the British government needs to make better use of brown field land.

Animals of Farthing Wood was educational both for children and adults, and I recently found a petition to the BBC to have this classical show released on DVD. Please support this petition, so that we can show future generations the damage we humans are causing, damage that must be stopped! Soon, in less than half a century, there may be no actual green belt land left in the UK, and other countries may follow. Let's help to stop this! No show made before or since carry the same messages with as much strength as AoFW.
