​
A third of British pollinator species have declined with a fifth of UK plants threatened with extinction.
England is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world due to its long history of industrialisation and land use changes over millennia.
Large areas of habitats have been lost with 99.7% of fens, 97% of species-rich grasslands, 80% of lowland heathlands, up to 70% of ancient woodlands and up to 85% of saltmarshes destroyed or degraded.
The impacts on species have also been severe, with a quarter of mammals in England and almost a fifth of UK plants threatened with extinction.
​
All you have to do is show us your wild space anywhere in Croydon and write why it's important to you!
