Chapter 8–Research for Conservation Theme


I live near Heathrow Airport which is under considerable investigation for air and noise polution

by a number or organisations and protest groups.

During the building of Terminal 5 two rivers were found to be directly in the way of contruction and had to be very carefully redirected.

This involved a mammoth task of collecting all the wildlife and plants which were returned  once the new waterways had been contructed.

With family working at the airport the contruction had a personal effect as each time we drove around the airport or the M25 changes had occurred as new roads and buildings where contructed.

I am facinated by the movement of the airplanes, here and then gone as their passengers are boarded, their take-off slots arrive. Whenever a plane arrives the number of vehicles that arrive to service the plane and carry bags, fuel and food never ceases to amaze me. Yet these vehicles emit exhaust fumes and the petroleum would be harmful to the creatures in the two rivers should it come into contact with them.  The fact both this hugh airport and the fragile ecosystem live so close by has influenced this module.

The manmade lines and solid structures sandwiched between Nature, flowing water and the creatures and the ever changing sky.
