Inspiring Approaches for Protecting Rainforests for Species, People and Our Planet

As part of London Climate Week, Rainforest Trust UK will be holding an evening event to celebrate World Rainforest Day and discuss “Inspiring Approaches for Protecting Rainforests for Species, People and Our Planet”. There will be a special musical performance by Venezuelan folk singer/songwriter Luzmira Zerpa.

Special guests: Barrister for the Earth, Monica Feria-Tinta, who will talk about using the law to defend the Rights of Nature and address key drivers of climate change. As well as Harvey Locke, a recognised global leader in the Nature Needs Half movement, and advocate for large landscape conservation and wilderness corridors.

While it’s not a rainforest, our event will be taking place outside, on the banks of Regent’s Canal, at the Camley Street Natural Park which is a haven for plants and wildlife. The woodland, grassland and wetland habitats provide a home for mallards, coots, kingfishers, herons, amphibians and insects, not to mention a rich variety of plant life and rare fungi.
