Join Dr. Diana Tingley, from the University of Exeter for a walk and talk around Ludwell Valley Park
New laws say that housing developments must leave the natural environment in a better state than beforehand, known as Biodiversity Net Gain. We discuss whether the current legislation can work well for people and nature at the same time, and whether it goes far enough. We also talk about the benefits to people from being able to access nature and whether social justice has a role to play in all of this.
