Counting on …day 26

Support local nature reserves 

The National Biodiversity Network  reported last year  that “The UK’s wildlife is continuing to decline according to a new landmark study [State of Nature]. Already classified as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries, nearly one in six of the more than ten thousand species assessed (16%) are at risk of being lost from Great Britain.” https://nbn.org.uk/news/state-of-nature-2023/

Yet nature offers us the best solutions to climate change if we at the same time take care to look after nature. Supporting nature reserves and the organisations that run them – such as the National Trust, the Wildlife Trust, the RSPB etc – is an effective way of tackling both the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis. Support can be by donations/ membership and or volunteering.
