Worcestershire Biodiversity Partnership

Biodiversity banner

Biodiversity describes the huge variety of plants, birds and animals on earth, the habitats in which they live and the interactions between them: the biological diversity of our planet.

Worcestershire has a rich flora and fauna, including many national rarities. The Worcestershire Biodiversity Partnership is an alliance of organisations working within the county who have the common aim of achieving the targets set out in the Worcestershire Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP), the document that outlines the action we will take to conserve and enhance the habitats and species of conservation importance.

The Partnership is committed to the protection and enhancement of the county's natural environment now and for the future.
