Thank you Dave for another enlightening lecture on the complexities calculating Biodiversity Net Gain for land developments and its application in field examples. In this past lecture, the need for more ecologists especially trained to undertake and evaluate these calculations was highlighted. It is imperative to attract and recruit more ecologists across the country for accurate and ecologically valid assessments of the BNGs submitted by developers, to preserve and or restore local habitats. This is a field that will hopefully bring more actions to protect the UK's varied habitats and their individual species for future generations. I am looking forward to next week's lecture, the last one of this series. #ecology #biodiversity #landdevelopment #environmentalimpactsudy #natureandconservation #ukecosystems #localauthorities
