GiGL sits at the core of the ecological community and is able to support individuals throughout their recording journey; we can connect newcomers with established groups to provide support and inspiration, as well as sharing resources, advice and standards for data collection.

For those with some recording experience, we can create data summaries/reports/visualisations to guide further recording and learning. We can also assist established recorders in creating London-wide Atlases and connect experts with policymakers and newcomers to share knowledge.

#LDN24 Takeaway #3
Engaging with underrepresented groups in and outside the ecological community is vital to inspire future recorders, verifiers and ecological practitioners. This will ensure ongoing awareness and advocacy for the natural environment across all communities.

#LDN24 Takeaway #1
Context is everything! Understanding how projects complement local and national policies and fit within large-scale initiatives can ensure cohesive ecological connectivity, help succeed with funding apps and empower citizens to have their greatest influence.
