Weekly Article - Conflicts Are Never Good News

Time for another weekly article.

There has been a lot in the global news about the conflict in Syria and other parts of the Middle East which is causing millions of people to be displaced and effected in all sorts of ways. For most of these situations the media focus on the human suffering which off course extremely saddening but the effect on the environment are usually overlooked. This is due to a number of reasons firstly it is not considered as important and secondly it is not exactly easy to conduct field research in such areas safely.

Conflicts are never good for anyone human or animal but it doesn't seem to be going to stop anytime soon and so the world as a whole is going to continue to suffer.
