National Trust: Climate change a big threat to us

The director-general of the National Trust Helen Ghosh has told the programme the organisation see climate change as one of the biggest threats to their properties and land.

Dame Helen Ghosh said the National Trust, who manage around 250,000 hectares, want to show others what "good looks like" by using renewable energy sources and lowering their consumption and managing their land in an environmentally friendly way.

"The main challenge to our conservation purpose is the destruction of habitats, of wildlife...two causes for that, intensive land management...and climate change we think is the big threat to us," she said.
