Farms, abattoirs, zoos, medical animal testing facilities, vets, aquariums, pounds, and animal shelters, are all created through property development, though this is a topic I personally have shied away from until now

As a staunch vegan, I am 100% for the deconstruction of the animal agricultural industry and if you understand the environmental devastation it creates and the depth of cruelty built into it, to even dare mouth the first 7 letters of the word sustainability, you would need to take a good hard look at yourself, and decide what you really stand for.

I'm often asked about my thoughts on small-scale or hobby farms with regenerative farming techniques, and would I at least drink milk and eat eggs then If I knew it was harm-free? I explain I view it in the same way I rescue Pitt Bulls, I would be happy to buy land and rescue farm animals and give them a good life on a regenerative farm, though I will never consume animal products again.

I'm asked about my views on zoos and aquariums, and the rules should be similar. Any rescued animals that are not fit for release, or there is nothing left to release too, should be given sanctuary and of course, the breeding programs are excellent for endangered species. If these facilities are done well, it is a good opportunity for the public to view these animals and hopefully find a connection or love for them which will help the next generation understand the importance of what is left of the natural world.

But with only a third of the wilderness of the world left through human domination and the further destruction coming from our expansion, pollution, climate change, and the abnormal weather events to come, are we heading towards a transition from a natural world to an encaptured world? Will the future be a vision of Eden projects scattered around the planet as the environmental processes evolve unnaturally quicker than our flora and fauna, with already 1 million species expected to face extinction in the next few decades.

So is there a new market coming for wilderness developers? Will this finally be the front-line of the fusion between the natural and built world, and if so, will we put ourselves back in nature or continue to isolate ourselves behind the walls of the castle?

And here is the final question, If somehow we figure out how to save both humanity and a portion of the natural world from collapse, how many years will it take for every species on the planet to become domesticated?
