These acts of environmental vandalism mean rich, green corridors are severely reduced, impacting residents’ health and mental well-being, as well as removing biodiverse habitat for local wildlife.   With 55% of the London Underground track network recorded above ground, we recognise a need for trackside vegetation maintenance, but the actions of TFL contractors are often excessive and aggressive. They are treating these rich, green corridors as more of a liability than an ecological asset in which to invest. London Underground’s existing green infrastructure amounts to 10% of all green spaces in the city and this is an obvious way for the Mayor of London to meet his commitment to improving London’s “biodiversity and ecological resilience” and become the first National Park City.  We are in a climate and biodiversity emergency and both the Transport for London and Sadiq Khan must do everything they can to protect the habitat and wildlife we have remaining in London.   https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/stop-the-removal-of-green-habitat-tfl
