About
the LBAP
The aim of the Biodiversity Action Plan
for Gloucestershire is to achieve a county richer in wildlife. Habitats
and species in Gloucestershire, as in much of the UK, have suffered dramatic
declines in recent decades and many once common species are becoming increasingly
rare. Some such as the water vole are on the verge of extinction.
The Biodiversity Project is overseen by a Steering Group of the key organisations
and in total, around 60 organisations in the county which are now actively
involved in the Biodiversity Action Plan and together form the Biodiversity
Partnership. The whole biodiversity initiative depends upon long-term
partnership between all the organisations which have an impact on wildlife:
from nature conservation organisations, local government, farmers and
landowners to businesses, schools and communities
