Biodiversity Action Plan
Projects
Several
important partnership projects have arisen from the BAP process:
These projects, together with projects for hay meadows and lead rakes are helping to deliver a number of BAP objectives.
Work for biodiversity also continues to be done through the day-to-day work of organisations and individuals, such as on nature reserves; work to get SSSIs into favourable condition; and the negotiation, renewal and implementation of agri-environment schemes.
Whilst many BAP achievements have been at least facilitated or delivered by conservation bodies, the contribution of individuals, businesses and non-conservation organisations cannot be under estimated. These include quarry companies who sensitively manage land on their holdings and contribute materials for habitat restoration projects, contractors who deliver wildlife benefits alongside routine work, farmers and local businesses who care about wildlife conservation, as well as local schools, groups and individuals involved in practical conservation tasks.
Targets and Actions within the BAP are reported on BARS, the national Biodiversity Action Reporting System.
