Swanscombe Peninsula supports an outstanding range of wildlife, including over 250 invertebrate species of conservation concern. It is also home to nationally rare and endangered bees, spiders, beetles, wasps and a host of other invertebrates that make the site of national importance. It is also an important site for many other types of fauna and flora, such as birds, reptiles, bats and plants, including many of conservation concern. Wildlife across the country is in drastic decline, and it is more important than ever to spare our national treasures! The Swanscombe Peninsula is simply the wrong place for a theme park- we must value our precious wildlife more than we do a theme park. We cannot continue to destroy the planet just for our enjoyment, we have a duty to protect it for all the other species as well.
