 I'm here at the Horniman Museum for the launch of Habitats of Hope, a beautiful interactive multi-sensory exhibition that celebrates conservation, all the species that we share this country with. Since 1994 the National Lottery has awarded £2 billion to conservation projects for land, for nature, for biodiversity. Something like 4,600 projects have been supported by those funds. This funding is really critical in helping to save some of our most important species. I think many people don't realise that actually the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world and we've lost nearly 50% of our biodiversity. Not many people know that the National Lottery players raise £30 million a week for good causes. I have a real passion for wildlife and all of my projects kind of centre around the environment. This is the forest habitat with different creatures forming and dispersing. I just found it really interesting to learn more about all the individuals and organisations who have brought these creatures, you know, save them from extinction. But if we share the stories of what I call heroes who are working really hard to give nature a helping hand, it helps to inspire others to act as well and then with action hope is everywhere.
