Why we need nature

Nature plays a multifaceted role in supporting society, with far-reaching impacts on our economy, health and overall wellbeing. As there is a symbiotic relationship between nature and food production, we rely on healthy ecosystems to continue to allow us to grow food. Maintaining fertile soils, a stable climate and pollinating vital crops can only happen if we protect our native ecology. 

Nature does more than feed us - access to green spaces and natural environments contributes to improved mental health, reduced stress levels and enhanced community living.

Biodiversity, often seen as a measure of how healthy an ecosystem is, is crucial for helping nature to remain resilient in the face of climate change, because diverse ecosystems are better equipped to adapt to environmental changes.
