Advocate
You can be a voice for nature and biodiversity in Southwark neighbourhoods and green spaces.
Comment on a planning application, write to your councillors, start a petition, contact the local media, and take to social media. Advocacy work is one of the most important ways you can make a difference to improve conditions for urban wildlife.
See below for some ways that you can get started, and some of the advocacy work SNAVers have been involved with.
