At Lightsource bp, one of our core values is Sustainability \u2013 as a renewable energy company, we are part of the climate change solution. A large part of that for us is generating solar electricity and reducing carbon emissions, but we\u2019re also dedicated to improving sustainability globally in other ways.<\/p>\n

One of our main considerations when building solar farms is making sure the installation has a positive effect on the local environment \u2013 we\u2019re dedicated to boosting biodiversity in communities and worldwide.<\/p>\n

The biodiversity crisis<\/strong><\/p>\n

Biodiversity refers to the variety of plant and animal life in any given habitat \u2013 generally speaking, the higher the levels of biodiversity the better. Due to climate change, industrialisation, deforestation and other human activities, we\u2019re in the middle of a global biodiversity crisis. Numbers of species of plants and animals are falling worldwide, which will have devastating results.<\/p>\n
