Education Tutor

Globally and nationally?wildlife?is?in steep decline. We appear to be reaching critical tipping points?around?the?loss of biodiversity as well as around climate change,?both?being?interlinked. Human society cannot prosper without wildlife and healthy?ecosystems.???? ?? 

Kent’s wildlife needs to be restored to much higher levels. We can no longer allow common things to become rare. We can only do this by restoring large-scale habitat from degraded land. Doing this will contribute to solving global problems.?But?we won’t be able to do this unless we publicly aspire to a higher level of impact and show that we can deliver this.???
