Behind the seemingly lush and decadent greenery of the UK’s rolling countryside lies a more troubling reality for its habitats and ecosystems.

In the past 50 years alone, more than half of the country’s biodiversity has been lost, whittling down wildlife and important vegetation whose presence helps to ensure a balanced and sustainable environment for all.

Protecting the environment has vast implications, and is pivotal for a stable economy too – nature-related risks could cause a decline of 12 per cent in the country’s GDP by the 2030s.
