"Investing in ecological services isn't just about protecting our wildlife, it's about safeguarding the very foundation of our environment,” says Dr. Charlotte Sanderson-Lewis, Head of Ecological Services at Antea Group UK. “Healthy ecosystems provide clean air, water filtration, and natural flood control, all of which benefit not just local habitats, but the health of entire communities. By helping companies take a proactive approach to minimising their impact on biodiversity and ensuring that new developments result in a net gain in biodiversity through protection of existing wildlife, restoration of habitats, and creation of new habitats, we can achieve a more sustainable future for generations to come."
