"There's a surprising amount of wildlife living in London. Beyond pigeons, bright green parakeets, red foxes, there are aesculapian snakes living in the trees along Regent's Canal and 50 pairs of peregrine falcons nesting across the city's rooftops."
"A 14-mile 'nature corridor' will run from Lee Valley Regional Park south towards the Thames through the boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Haringey and Newham."
"The corridor will link community gardens, rooftops, canals, parks, football grounds and neighbourhood streets, turning them into one connected system rather than isolated pockets and making it easier for wildlife and pollinators to move freely through the capital."
"Research has shown that green infrastructure can also help to cool city streets and support food systems."
London hosts diverse wildlife, including parakeets and peregrine falcons. A new local nature recovery strategy prioritizes green corridors to boost biodiversity. A 14-mile nature corridor will connect community gardens, rooftops, canals, and parks across several boroughs. Led by Wild Cities, the project aims to restore ecosystems in nature-deprived areas, promoting healthier environments and community engagement with nature. The initiative also seeks to improve urban cooling and support food systems, inviting local participation to realize the project.
