The Last Resort

Unfortunately, I suspect that it's already no contest. The Swanscombe Peninsula, in Kent, is currently home to almost 2000 species of invertebrates, 250 of which are of conservation concern. There are plans, however, to build a theme park (the London Resort) in this locations, featuring 'attractions' from the BBC, ITV and cinema (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/oct/21/plans-london-resort-theme-park-kent-marsh-swanscombe-dismay-conservationists). 'Bugs' rarely get a look in, when money-making enterprises with associated 'jobs' are put on the table.
