2026 Panel Discussion: The State of Nature

Is the decline of nature in Cornwall inevitable, or can we still find - and create - reasons for hope?
About this Event

Cornwall’s natural environment is woven into every part of life in the county - from its iconic landscapes and wildlife to the wellbeing, identity, and livelihoods of those who call it home. Yet the evidence of ecological decline is growing, raising urgent questions about the future of Cornwall’s wild places and the species that depend on them. Is this downward trajectory unavoidable, or are there real, tangible opportunities to restore nature at scale?

This panel discussion, chaired by BBC Radio Cornwall presenter, Julie Skentelbery, will explore some of the most pressing issues facing Cornwall’s natural environment today:

  • What is driving nature loss in Cornwall, and where are we already seeing positive change?
  • What tools, policies, and community efforts offer genuine hope for recovery - and what’s still missing?
  • Crucially, what could a nature-rich Cornwall of the future look like, and what steps can we take now to turn ambition into action?

Join us for a thought-provoking panel discussion exploring the pressures facing Cornwall's wildlife and whether inspiring conservation activities are enough to reserve the decline.

The panel:
