Strategic Plan 2010-2015

A natural Future for London:
our Strategic Plan for 2010-2015
Through our vision for a Natural Future for London, London Wildlife Trust calls on policy makers and Londoners to help deliver its vision to make the capital a better place for wildlife and people.

London is a world city, famous amongst other things for its iconic landmarks and rich cultural life. What is less well known is the amazing range of wildlife our city supports, including natural spaces and valuable habitats, as well as thousands of species, from algae and fungi, to molluscs and mammals.

But this biological richness is being eroded and is under constant threat from everything from habitat fragmentation and development to climate change and chemical pollutants.

Carlo Laurenzi, Chief Executive of London Wildlife Trust says, ‘We hope we can inspire people to celebrate, conserve and enhance our city’s incredible natural heritage. We aim to advocate and help deliver an inclusive green infrastructure across the capital. We want all Londoners to have access to the city’s varied wildlife and natural spaces. That’s why London Wildlife Trust will continue to work with its partners to help deliver a natural future for London and is asking Londoners and policy makers to support our vision over the next five years.’

Delivering a green infrastructure (connected greenspace and vegetated features to support wildlife and improve resilience to climate change) is key to the Trust’s vision for a wildlife rich city.

This needs to be embedded in London’s policy and planning frameworks so that it is central to land-use developments and management practices.

Valerie Todd, Talent & Resources Director of Crossrail Ltd and organiser of Young Crossrail, a sponsor of A Natural Future for London says, “We at Crossrail are delighted to support the London Wildlife Trust’s launch of its vision for A Natural Future for London.

We are committed to building a world-class, affordable and sustainable railway that will help regeneration and improve travel across the Capital, providing greater opportunities for all Londoners to visit London’s natural heritage and green and open spaces”.

Sir David Attenborough, Vice President of The Wildlife Trusts, says, 'I fully support the London Wildlife Trust in its work to promote London's wildlife and maintain the variety and abundance of nature in our wildspaces, parks and streets'.
