Tim Smit quote

The main inspiration was that most people didn't realise that without plants there's no life on earth. Effectively, the Eden Project is a monument to the importance of plants.

Stories worth unearthing

Rainforest trees

Why does nature matter?

The natural world is the ultimate life support system, producing fresh air, clean water, fertile soil, rich biodiversity, and a stable climate, and it has an awesome recycling system. The more plants, animal, fungi and microbes, the healthier the system.

Bee colony

Are we stronger together?

Research shows that people who were once in the minority can create tipping points for societal transformation. The need for this has never been greater in the face of the planetary emergency. Connected communities can tackle challenges better when they face them together.

Grain crops in the sun

Why does what I eat matter?

Roughly half of the planet’s habitable land is used to produce food for humans. The way food is grown, reared and produced can do great harm or great good. Today it's the leading cause of habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, water pollution and freshwater extraction, but there are many solutions.
