Each second of the walk reveals 1% of the lands and how they look from above. Are you ready for the Netherlands in 100 seconds? Way walk through 18 kinds of land that have gone in a blink. Coastal mudflats occupy 5% of the Netherlands on five seconds of our walk way. Spent eight seconds listening to birds and walking in large woodlands. Houses and gardens of villages, towns and cities cover 8% of the country. No on now we're in the deep for 12 seconds. It's timeto wade and swim. We're crossing freshwater lakes. The rest of the land is used for farms. Way walk for 12 seconds through a complex patchwork of small fields used for crops and cows, as well as occasional houses for people, pigs and chickens. We spent 18 seconds walking through larger fields of crops. Most is fed to livestock way passed through maize, wheat, potatoes, sugar beet vegetables on flowers. Our last 24% and 24 seconds takes us through pastures. This The single biggest use of land is mostly used for feeding and rearing cows. In all, at a time when a third of duck species are at risk of extinction. Do we need to rethink this mix of lands we have and how we use them? I need more trees. Please. I think more balance would be better. So what if we made more space for nature?
