A full day of thinking and scribbling has resulted in almost 5000 words of Viles musings on linking conserving ruins with conserving biodiversity. I say 'almost' 5000 words in perhaps a rather too optimistic fashion (I'm including a few notes, quotations and waffle), but it is starting to come together. So what if there's about a further 30000 words to do...
Actually, I am writing the most difficult part (chapter 2) at the moment that deals with the underlying principles of different types of conservation. First, the principles are quite complex and, second, people really make heavy weather of writing about them - making me uncertain what anything actually MEANS. It's all quite slippery and conceptual... and I am much happier with things that are solid and empirical.
