Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust has been award £21 million by Aviva to restore saltmarsh habitats as part of Aviva’s net zero plans – investments in projects such as this will be used to offset residual emissions from their business.
‘Saltmarsh, a nature-rich habitat historically in serious decline, is a mix of coastal land and water that helps to combat the causes and effects of climate change. Saltmarshes are brilliant carbon sinks, accumulating carbon forty times faster than forests, and offer natural flood protection; they also teem with wildlife that often cannot survive elsewhere, help improve water quality and make us feel better. A natural solution to some of our world’s most pressing problems.’ https://www.wwt.org.uk/news-and-stories/news/wwt-awarded-21-million-to-restore-coastal-saltmarsh-in-uk?utm_source=Supporter+newsletter+(11+July+2023)&utm_campaign=8cb9840a7e-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2023_07_10_07_21&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-8cb9840a7e-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D
