Biodiversity Net Gain & Climate Change Ecology in New Developments

In our fourth episode of the Barratt David Wilson Homes' sustainable series, Marketing Manager Megan speaks with Emma Toovey, Ecology Director for Environment Bank.

During this episode dedicated totally to wildlife and nature, we explore the term 'Biodiversity Net Gain' and discuss ways to create areas where nature and people can exist in balance and harmony. Megan challenges developers to do more when building new developments across the UK, and with the help of Emma's diverse ecology background, we discover unique tips to bring back nature in our back gardens, as well as the inventive ways developers are helping; including wildflower meadows, bee-friendly planting and hedgehog super highways. In the final part of this exciting episode we discover how we can hold stakeholders to account, and ensure a transparent and fair management of biodiverse areas, as together we can help to tackle climate change ecology for the benefit of the environment.
