Opinion

“It is often the small steps, not the giant leaps, that bring about the most lasting change”
— HRH Queen Elizabeth II.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the Queen. Our thoughts are with our Patron, King Charles III, and his whole family.

The late Queen and her son King Charles have been remarkable champions of our natural world, most recently with the Queen’s Green Canopy initiative. We look forward to this legacy continuing in renewed efforts to restore our planet.
