Sir David Attenborough said: 'In busy London, the Royal Parks are a haven for wildlife and there are simple things we can all do to protect it and help it thrive,’

wildlife is facing a mortal threat from the vast plastic waste left in public parks and on the streets.

An estimated 1,982 tonnes of waste, as much as 157 London buses, was scooped up from London’s green spaces just last year alone.Plastic can be devastating to wildlife living in London’s parks While it is illegal to leave litter behind in London’s parks, the regulations are under-enforced, so Royal Parks hope its ‘leave no trace’ messaging will cut through with park polluters.

‘Please also leave the wildflowers and fungi, the acorns and deadwood where they are; all of them are vital parts of the parks’ ecology. Remember to tread lightly and leave no trace of your visit.’
