Wildlife Corridors
Southwark Council is currently reviewing its progress on biodiversity action amid calls for swifter implementation of wildlife protection measures.
Southwark Council is facing calls from community groups and councillors to accelerate its response to the biodiversity crisis and enhance local wildlife. The Environment Scrutiny Commission convened on 14 October 2026 to scrutinise progress on the council's Biodiversity Scrutiny Review, noting concerns about the pace and effectiveness of actions.
Wildlife corridors, which are strips of land that connect fragmented habitats allowing wildlife to move between them, are a key tool in safeguarding natural environments. While some advancements have been noted in Southwark's efforts, significant concerns remain regarding the implementation of measures.
