Young Reporter: Why should we protect wildlife in London?
Our local environment is one of the fundamental building blocks in the society we live In today. It is estimated that there is roughly around 14,000 different species of wildlife living in London. Take Richmond Park for example, a borough in south west London home to many ranges of biodiversity, with up to 144 types of species recorded. I went to Richmond park to discover the many ways in which we can conserve our local environment and just how important biodiversity in London truly is. It is saddening just how much our wildlife has declined. In fact, nearly half of Britain's diversity has gone since the industrial revolution.
