The Biodiversity Crisis

The Biodiversity Crisis

Red Mason Bee

The biodiversity crisis is one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. One million species are threatened with extinction, and biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate. This is due to a number of factors, including habitat loss, pollution, climate change, and overexploitation.

Biodiversity is essential for human well-being and the health of the planet. It provides us with food, clean air and water, regulates the climate, and protects us from disease. It also supports economic activity and cultural practices.

Across the UK people are taking steps to minimise their impact on our environment and boost biodiversity. SuDS and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) regulations now require developers to deliver flood management, water quality, amenity and biodiversity enhancements.

BioScapes SuDS Unit provides an attractive, one-stop-shop solution which delivers against all four pillars of SuDS as set out in the CIRIA SuDS Manual.

As the Biodiversity crisis deepens there is an increasing need for us to do all we can in our own greenspaces. Developers now have an obligation to provide Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG).

BioScapes units provide a solution by creating a self-contained ecosystem for a wide array of plants and animals, from hedgehogs to hoverflies, adding colour and energy to any space where people can connect with nature.

If you are working on a project that would benefit from Biodiversity Net Gain, we can deliver pre-built planters, direct-to-site, and assist with installation. Get in touch with our experts on 01904 202202, or complete our form and a member of our team will come back to you.
