        Demands for stronger pmtection for wildlife in Britains。me hide the fact that similar are felt ill the rest Eumpe.Studies by the Council of Europe，of which 21 countries a。e members,have shown that l percent of reptile speeies and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out EuroDean concem for wildlife was outlined by Dr.Peter Baum，an expert in the environent and nature res。urces division。f the c。uncil，when he spoke at a conference arranged by the ad-ministrators of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold thecouncil’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality，and Dr.Peter Baum had come to present it to the park once again.He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks，and that those set up in the l960s and l970s could not be set up today.But Dr.Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in a peace in their own fight. No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as tourist attraction，he went on.The short view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for thefuture.
      “We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems，on which any built—up area ultimately depends，”Dr.Baum went on，“We could manage without most industrial products，but we could not manage without nature.However，our natural environment areas，which are the original parts of our countryside，have shrunk to become mere islands in a spoiled and highly polluted landmass.”
