BIODIVERSITY IN THE UK

The UK Government set up a BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN STEERING GROUP made up of multi-sector representatives to produce lists of the most THREATENED AND DECLINING BRITISH SPECIES AND HABITATS together with a range of costed targets for their conservation. In parallel, six of the leading environmental charities were working to stimulate the Government action and produced the first edition of "Biodiversity Challenge - an agenda for conservation in the UK" in December 1993.
In early 1994, the Government published "Biodiversity: the UK Action Plan".
This was followed a year later by the enlarged section edition of "Biodiversity Challenge" and in December 1995 the eagerly awaited "BIODIVERSITY: THE UK STEERING GROUP REPORT" was published in two volumes.
In April 1997, official guidance on the production of LOCAL BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLANS (BAPs) was produced by the UK Local Issues Advisory Group. These guidance notes (1-4) are entitled 'An Introduction', Developing Partnerships', 'How Local Biodiversity Action Plans relate to other Plans' and 'Evaluating priorities and setting targets for habitats and species', respectively.
The following tranches of species were produced in 1998:
Volume 1 - Vertebrates and Vascular Plants
Volume 2 - Habitats
Volume 3 - Plants and Fungi
Volume 4 - Invertebrates
Volume 5 - Maritime Species and habitats
Followed in October 1999 by:
Volume 6 - Terrestrial and Freshwater Species and Habitats
