The lower Thames crossing,if it goes ahead, will be another nail in the coffin for our nature. The important habitats for plants, animals, and fungi will be destroyed, disrupted, and poisoned by the construction and intended use. Many of the species affected are already in decline and struggling to survive. The proposed development goes against assurances that the UK will reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and is yet another example of large, costly infrastructure projects being centred around the capital city of England.
