So how was it for you, during this global pandemic? Last spring was ripe with predictions of a baby boom, recalls psychosexual therapist Amanda Barge – talk of “it’ll be like the 1970s, when we had power cuts: people just went to bed and had sex.” She says: “I don’t think it’s necessarily panned out that way.”
Turns out there is nothing arousing about a government-imposed lockdown. “We’ve had to do what we’re told,” says Barge. “It’s a bit like your parents saying, ‘You’re not going out tonight.’ It’s not hugely sexy. People got into baking, cooking, growing vegetables – again, not hugely sexy; more comforting and homely. So it’s been hard for couples to keep the erotic.”

“The southern United States has as much at stake in this fight as any other part of the nation and as much to offer, both in resources to tap and progress to make,” says Patrick Hunter, managing attorney of SELC’s Asheville office. The letter highlights the region’s rich biodiversity, large swaths of forests and other resources that will need to be protected and preserved even as development pressures threaten them.
“The region has more tree, freshwater fish, reptile, amphibian, bird, and endemic mammal diversity than nearly any other part of the country,” says Sam Evans, leader of SELC’s National Parks and Forest Program. “The South is the most forested region in the Lower 48 states, presenting a great opportunity for managing existing forests to maximize carbon storage and increase carbon sequestration at the region-wide scale.”
