What are we doing to the ecosystem?

The UK is facing multiple ecological threats to nature: biodiversity loss, climate change, and land-use change.  

Is there something we can do?

These threats are connected and inextricably linked to our societal structure and economy, with disparities often resulting in the destruction of or disconnection from nature.  

We need to shift away from the narrative of ‘nature versus humanity’ and towards one where humans can act as ecological stewards of nature, recognising and protecting the many social and ecological benefits that biodiverse, functional landscapes offer.  

In essence, we need ‘nature-based solutions’. Nature-based solutions are an umbrella term for a range of interventions that work with nature to address societal and environmental challenges. We need to learn how to work with what we have at the moment, with love and caring for the environment and our community.
