This jewel wasp is a species new to Britain and new to Kent, found on our reserves and most likely enabled by a changing climate – we always think of climate change as bad, but as species are pushed out of their continental range and expand north, they have to find stepping stones of habitat further north or go extinct. We are going to lose species to climate change, but also gain them.
Thanks to National Lottery players, grants totalling more than £3.65m for three projects across Kent will reconnect people with their natural heritage and protect it for future generations.
An alliance of national and local conservation groups, including the RSPB and Kent Wildlife Trust, is campaigning to save the best site for nightingales in the UK: Lodge Hill, Medway, from being allocated for new housing developments.
But children rarely see two wild animals featured in John Lewis Christmas advert.
Kent Wildlife Trust is today launching an appeal to raise £78,000 to purchase and manage crucial extensions to its National Nature Reserve at Lydden Temple Ewell near Dover.
It’s not too late to save UK nature, but we must act now: this is the conclusion from a coalition of more than 50 leading wildlife and research organisations behind the State of Nature 2016 report.
Kent Wildlife Trust and a wide range of partners are keen to gather the public’s thoughts this summer and autumn on the ‘Fifth Continent Landscape Partnership Scheme’ – a Heritage Lottery Funded project which will be submitted in October 2016.
