Everyone deserves the chance to enjoy nature. We’re bringing back beavers, bees and bats across London - and now, through my Green Roots Fund, we're supporting the first white stork colony in six centuries 🦅 https://t.co/xLwCjanswl

Really enjoyed speaking on the ecosystems panel @centreforlondon #ldnconf25 . Good discussion of the challenges, only wish we could have gotten to more Q&A!
@Muthu_De_Silva Following up on the city level work, @PlanAbby spoke to ecosystems as being affected by climate change: “Our natural assets require maintenance - how do you provide the support and funding to land owners to maintain our critical assets and how they function as they should do”
