Webinar - From Global to Local: How small actions can make a big difference (05/12/24) Thursday, 5th December 2024 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

Speaker: Tony Whitbread, President of Sussex Wildlife Trust

Have you ever questioned whether local actions can really make any difference to the global environmental issues we are facing today?

The UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration aims to prevent, halt and reverse the degradation of ecosystems on every continent and in every ocean. It could help to end poverty, combat climate change and prevent a mass extinction.

But how can a few flowers in a window box or a wildlife garden really have an impact?

During this free webinar, Tony will take you on a journey of possibility, demonstrating that, if everyone takes some action for wildlife, we can not only slow the destruction of our natural world, but restore it.

With a brief introduction to the current biodiversity and climate crises, Tony will go on to explore some of the inspiring projects that are already making a difference in Sussex and demonstrate how small local actions, as part of a wider recovery network, could lead to global change.

Dr Tony Whitbread, who retired as Chief Executive of Sussex Wildlife Trust in March 2018, has returned to take a leading role in nature conservation as President of Sussex Wildlife Trust. He joined the Sussex Wildlife Trust in 1991 as Head of Conservation before taking on the role of Chief Executive Officer in 2006. During his time, Dr Whitbread played a huge role as a conservation advocate, battling against road building, urban development, the potential expansion of Gatwick Airport and other countryside loss. Dr Whitbread was at the forefront in promoting the need for the establishment of the South Downs National Park. He also played a leading role in establishing the Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre, which holds almost seven million species records – information used to inform planning decisions.

Duration: 1 hour, including a Q and A session at the end.

Please note: This webinar will be recorded. Your camera and microphone will be turned off for the duration of the event. 

You can submit questions by writing them in the Q and A but please be aware that we may not have time to answer them all.
