The Wildlife Trusts

Congratulations to MIRA Technology Park for achieving The Wildlife Trusts’ prestigious Biodiversity Benchmark standard at their site in Warwickshire 🎉. The organisation’s focus on biodiversity across the 850-acre site has led to the creation of 28 acres of wildflower and grassland meadows, three acres of wetland habitat, the planting of 600 new trees and the installation of bat and bird boxes - all making space to support and protect nature such as bees, butterflies and birds. These accessible green spaces, created between site’s buildings, are also available for the businesses’ staff to enjoy, supporting their health and wellbeing too 🌎 💚 . Is your business a landowner and do you think you could achieve Biodiversity Benchmark by showing continual biodiversity enhancement and protection on your site?

Is your organisation using nature based solutions? 🌿   These solutions are exactly as they sound - they use nature and natural processes as solutions to diverse socio-environmental issues.   For example, many Wildlife Trusts employ natural flood management processes, to protect, restore, and mimic the natural functions of catchments, floodplains and the coast to slow and store water, reducing flood risk.   There's plenty of other examples too, from ensuring green, biodiverse spaces to boost human well being, to carbon removals from protecting and restoring peatlands.   Are you working with Nature-based solutions too, or interested in how they can be funded through carbon and biodiversity credit schemes?   We'll be at the Second Conference on Nature-based Solutions using Carbon and Biodiversity Credit Funding – a University of Lincoln organised event, in partnership with The Wildlife Trusts and IEMA.     📅 Dates: 17-18 July 2024 📍 Location: University of Lincoln 👉 Full Agenda & Tickets: https://lnkd.in/eYBfzspi   #NatureBasedSolutions #ClimateAction #Biodiversity #Sustainability

Is there anything cuter than a little cuttlefish? This species really lives up to its name - it only reaches about 6cm long!

Nature? Who cares? We know you do, so #vote with nature in mind today. The next UK Government needs to be prepared to make critical decisions. The UK is already ranked as one of the world’s most nature-depleted countries, the incoming government will be responsible for turning this around. 📢 Don't forget to take your photo ID with you to polling stations. #GeneralElection2024 #GiveAnX #GE2024
