Protecting Wildlife in London

20 June 2022

Living in London, it may seem hard to find green spaces and ‘fresh’ air amongst all the city life, but gardens in London cover almost 1/4 of its entire space! There are over 14,000 different species of plants, animals and fungi living within London and we have 1500 valuable SINC sites within this beautiful city.

SINC – Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation

What is Being Done to Protect Wildlife in London?

SINCs receive a high level of protection from development in the Mayor’s new London Plan. Most are managed by boroughs or other public bodies.

What Can You Do?

The biggest and easiest thing you can do, is to make sure you dispose of your rubbish correctly. Recycle where possible, and never litter! You can volunteer to support wildlife in your local area; through the Mayors ‘Team London’ website.
