The Swanscombe Peninsula is a unique wildlife haven. It is home to an outstanding range of wildlife, which depend on it for survival. These species include 15 red-listed birds of conservation concern, and 12 species of principal importance. It is also home to bats, water voles and otters, as well as more than 250 species of invertebrates of conservation concern. This is why it has been recommended to be declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest by Natural England. I am very concerned that wildlife is in serious decline across the country, so we should preserve our remaining wildlife havens. On a personal note, my cousin has fond memories of being taken to Swanscombe as a child by his father.
