Outcome 1: Protecting and restoring habitat

Protecting habitat that is already there, as Trust for Nature has been doing for over 50 years, is the most important thing we can do to help nature and address climate change. But it won’t be enough to halt the loss of biodiversity. To do that, we have to restore habitat in places where it has been lost as well. [AR p.12]

  • Restoring 5,000 hectares of land in priority areas
