Para 1.20 | Reflecting on the year, the overarching outcome is one of success, having achieved all of our targets, and even over-achieved in some areas despite challenges, but one of the major accomplishments was the expansion of our network within the many microcosms of British & Cypriot society. From the world of the corporate to the community, we have continued weaving relationships in the personal, professional, and even political realms, building trusted relationships as we have demonstrated our dedication, delivered measurable results for communities and biodiversity. We recognise our progress throughout this project as a series of stepping stones to continue building towards even greater accomplishments for nature. |
