Britain's ponds have significantly declined, with studies indicating that over 50% have vanished since the 1900s. This loss is attributed to urbanization and intensive agricultural practices. Research in the Severn Vale region revealed a 58% reduction in ponds, with the average distance between them increasing by 25 meters. Despite their diminutive size, ponds are crucial for biodiversity, serving as habitats for various species. They also play a role in climate resilience by providing cooling during heatwaves and managing water flow during heavy rains. A revival of pond creation is underway, highlighting their importance as biodiversity hotspots and tools for climate mitigation.
