Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has committed a further £710,000 to fund projects that will help to rewild the capital. The third round of the Rewild London Fund is now open for applications for schemes that will increase biodiversity and create more habitats for animals and plants to thrive, making the city more resilient to climate change.
This brings the total investment in rewilding London to £2.3 million, which includes £750,000 from Amazon’s Right Now Climate Fund. To date, the fund has helped to create or restore around 250 hectares of wildlife habitat, the equivalent of nearly 310 football pitches, across the capital bringing nature back into the city for all to enjoy.
