Ground Control is launching an extensive woodland restoration initiative called Wildfell in Essex. Covering 116 hectares, this ambitious project focuses on planting new forests and improving current habitats. With the aim of enhancing biodiversity and sequestering carbon, multiple funding avenues are being explored. Furthermore, effective wildlife management practices will help the project thrive amidst various challenges, while also serving as a hub for environmental education and community involvement.

In 2024, Arup invested £1 million in Nattergals Boothby Wildland project in Lincolnshire, supporting restoration activity across 71.24 hectares and securing 10,000 tonnes of future carbon removal credits over 50 years. The project forms part of an approach focused on using upfront private-sector finance to support nature restoration while recognizing benefits beyond carbon removal. Boothby Wildland is a 617-hectare former degraded arable farm where Nattergal has gradually moved away from arable farming. The project aims to improve biodiversity, ecosystem services and community engagement. Its wider benefits include flood mitigation, improved water quality, pollination and evidence about nature restoration outcomes.

The global inequality in health opportunities is being further heightened by the triple planetary crisis—climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution. Addressing it is more than a question for health systems; it must be embedded as a central concern in climate and environmental policy. This is being urged by scientists from Heidelberg University whose research focuses, among other things, on global health, environment-related diseases and climate action. They advocate not only countering this inequality at the individual level but also removing its structural causes. In a paper published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, they explain the approaches required in research and policymaking.
