Wildlife and Business

A 2009 a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) revealed that 27% of CEOs globally are concerned about the impact of biodiversity loss on their business growth prospects.

Wildlife and green space across the UK are under pressure from climate change and urban development, but face particular challenges in London. With an official population of 7.8 million, a growing demand for open space to develop and the prospect of drought looming, the need to protect the capital's important species and habitats is intense.

Why we work with businesses

No sector operating alone can tackle these issues.

We believe that by working in partnership with stakeholders in the private sector, we can develop simple and effective solutions to conserve London's natural environment for people and for wildlife. We will build strong partnerships with businesses that have demonstrated a true commitment to sustainable development whether in the UK or abroad.

Your support will enable us to:

ensure a future for endangered UK species such as the stag beetle and water vole
protect scarce habitats such as wetland and chalk grassland from degradation and development
directly impact the wellbeing of Londoners through our community engagement projects
raise awareness amongst people of the importance of biodiversity to mitigate the impacts of climate change
foster a culture of volunteering and active living in London
