A

Sixty­four­year­old Pierre Deom has spent his entire life close to

the woods and fields that he loves.Twice a year，his magazine，La Hulotte，focuses on animal or plant native to the French countryside.

The 100th edition was published in November.The magazine includes

more than 150，000 subscribers in many countries，and is selling very

well.Deom says it all began in January 1972，when he was teaching science

in a one­room schoolhouse here.“It upset me how the forests and wetlands

were beginning to be ruined.The word‘ecology’(生态学)didn't really

exist yet.Some friends and I wanted to call attention to the issue.So

we said，let's educate the kids.They're ready to hear our messages.”So

he took a step into the unknown，planning to publish his nature journal.

Deom does all the research，writing and the illustrations(插图)of

the magazine by hand.He combines science and humour in his writing and

drawing to describe the daily life and sufferings of his

creatures.Animals you might overlook or consider dull are magically and

vividly(生动地)brought to life in La Hulotte.“I try to write about

animals and plants that are easy to find because I want kids to put on boots，take a magnifying glass(放大镜)，go to the woods and fields to

observe and be amazed by what they find，”Deom says.

And it seems to work.Biologist Jerome Fournier began subscribing to

La Hulotte when he was just eight years old.“For me it was the first

contact with nature when I was a child.And maybe it's the beginning for

my life of scientist.I think so.”

Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes

hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe，of which 21 countries are members，have shown

that 45 percent of reptile(爬行动物)species and 24 percent of

butterflies are in danger of dying out.

European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr. Peter Baum，an

expert in the environment and natural resources division of the

council(会)，when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators

of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe

to hold the council's diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality，and Dr. 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 1960s and 1970s 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 peace in their own right.

“No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve

and as a tourist attraction，”he went on.The short­sighted view that

reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation
