| The Avon Biodiversity
Partnership |
The Avon Biodiversity Partnership was formed in 2000 with the setting
up of the steering group. It has developed since then to encompass
a wide range of statutory and non-statutory bodies. The list of
partnership members is not exclusive and new partners are both welcomed
and needed, especially from the business, academic and private sectors.
The Avon Biodiversity Partnership will:
+ Champion and promote local biodiversity and its distinctiveness;
+ Implement actions in order to achieve the objectives and meet
the targets outlined in the Avon
Biodiversity Action Plan;
+ Facilitate communication and sharing of best-practice and skills;
+ Seek opportunities for joint projects where possible;
+ Monitor biodiversity and biodiversity action; and
+ Report back annually on its achievements.
The Partnership’s vision for Avon
A landscape rich in wildlife, where species
and habitats are part of healthy, functioning ecosystems that are
well-managed and valued by everyone; where conservation of biodiversity
is integrated with social, cultural and economic activities.
