Kent Wildlife Trust is urging the public to think globally but act locally when it comes to the climate and nature crisis.
Around the world we are witnessing the devastating impact of climate change on our planet. Closer to home, in our own county, we are seeing the effects before our eyes: Flooding has become a regular occurrence, development and habitat erosion have pushed wildlife to the brink, and many wildlife species are in decline. This all threatens our very existence on this earth.
Paul Hadaway, Director of Conservation at Kent Wildlife Trust said: “The rate at which wildlife has declined in the past 20 years is something that should not only shock but also motivate us all to take action. Kent Wildlife Trust can help you be part of the solution, whether advising on making our own gardens more wildlife friendly, supporting organic approaches to growing our food, improving our road verges and urban spaces for wildlife generally, there are multiple ways we can make a difference. The time to do this has never been more pressing and the role of organisations like Kent Wildlife Trust, our members and the communities we work with across Kent never more vital.”
Kent Wildlife Trust is the county’s leading conservation charity with more than 31,000 members and over 1000 registered volunteers. We manage and protect over 9000 acres of land across more than 80 different sites and nature reserves, alongside three visitor centres. With your help Kent Wildlife Trust can do even more to tackle the climate and nature crisis.
We are in the midst of a climate and nature emergency. Across the globe, we can see the devastating impact that climate change is having on people and the natural world around us.
Our existing laws are too weak and the climate and ecological crisis we face is not being taken seriously enough. We need ambitious natural climate solutions that reduce and capture carbon, stop ecosystem destruction and make our towns and cities cleaner…
