- Gatwick Airport has strengthened its environmental commitments through two new biodiversity partnerships aimed at restoring habitats, enhancing wildlife and helping offset residual carbon emissions as part of its journey towards net-zero operations by 2030.
- The airport has announced a £1 million investment in projects being delivered by Kent Wildlife Trust and Somerset Wildlife Trust, supporting the transformation of former agricultural land into thriving natural habitats that will benefit wildlife, local communities and the wider environment.
- The initiatives will focus on two sites: Ironhurst Valley Nature Reserve in Kent and Honeygar Farm in Somerset. Both projects are designed to restore ecosystems and improve biodiversity while contributing to long-term carbon sequestration.
- According to project estimates, the schemes will remove approximately 10,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) over their lifespan while also helping address issues such as flood resilience and habitat loss.
