SEM’s Maxwell Ayamba has contributed to a recent report by Climate Reach for Natural England.

The report called ‘Nature Visuals: Diversity in images of England’s green and natural spaces’ was commissioned in December 2021.

The Study provides evidence of the need to; ‘increase engagement with nature and climate through effectively diversifying images of people and nature. The report concludes that featuring a more diverse range of people in publications, adverts and across various media, would encourage a diverse range of people to engage in natural landcapes and environmental issues.
