Why is supporting nature so important?
From our parks and woodlands to our green urban spaces and world-famous canals, the pressures on the West Midland’s natural capital has never been greater. Only by investing in nature can we realistically hope to help reverse biodiversity decline, build climate resilience and create fairer, healthier places for everyone in the West Midlands to live and work. Supporting nature isn’t just an environmental issue either – it’s an economic and socially imperative one too. That’s because over 50% of global GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature.
