Like you, I wonder why people aren't more interested in nature. Your anecdote about no-one else really paying attention to the newts is similar to yesterday when my husband and I were crouching down to watch some solitary bees moving around, there werea species of mining bee and a species of parasitic nomad cuckoo bees (I'm hoping to get to species level when I've looked closely at the photos). Other people came past and expressed vague interest but no-one actually stopped to get a closer look.
I love the song of the Blackcaps too.

I get that some people have limitations. Especially western people, because they don’t sit
on the ground enough, which makes me feel sitting on the ground is even more important actually. I would like to look at the bees.
That's actually a good point, about people not wanting to sit down. The bees were fascinating to watch.
Lovely work in your shop and I’m keeping the “Help will come” as my mantra . Thank you for an inspiring post ❤️
