The latest BBC series Wild Isles, with David Attenborough, has highlighted the incredible wildlife and landscapes found here in the UK. Sadly, in the last of the series,the programme raised the issue of the biodiversity loss and the role that communities can play in nature recovery. This programme also features a certain Island off the North Devon Coast!

This 5-part inspiring series is well worth a watch and shows we can all help nature recover however big or small our actions are. Together we can turn the tide on nature loss and as a first step to support nature recovery you can read and sign the North Devon UNESCO Biospheres Nature Declaration here:
