Ethos

The future state of our environment is determined by peoples’ choice, and their values in the way they live. Lost Habitat aims to help build a connection with people and nature locally and are dedicated to promoting the true value of our natural environment by enhancing areas in your outdoor space.

Utilising techniques from ecological landscaping and rewilding, we aim to mitigate the effects of climate change and industrialisation, by building resilient ecosystems and establishing new and improved habitats across Cornwall & Devon and the Southwest, enhancing ecosystem services, and improving habitat connectivity with nature-based solutions.

We are in the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, and all have the ability in helping to prevent, halt, and reverse the degradation of ecosystems worldwide. We can all make a difference to heal our planet, and Lost Habitat aim to support healthier ecosystems for planet and people.
