"I’m proud that we are turning London into a wildlife haven and I'm committed to ensuring that London is at the forefront of reversing the trends of declining biodiversity."
@mayoroflondon.bsky.social @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social

The fund will also invest more than £12m over three years to help nature thrive across London’s communities.

A wilder London is now possible with the support of @mayoroflondon.bsky.social and C40 Cities Co-Chair, Sir @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social.

Mayor Khan’s Green Roots Fund has awarded £3.48 million to 26 environmental projects, 10 of which will support waterways.

For the first time in centuries, beavers will live in Barking’s waterways and help restore ecosystems...

...while white storks will nest in London again.

A headline from The Standard reads: "Sadiq Khan: "I want to rewild London. First storks, then beavers (yes, really)" White storks are coming back to London for the first time in 600 years.

Beavers and white storks are returning to London! 🦫🪶
