Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP)

Biodiversity partnership logo

 

The Vale of Glamorgan Local Biodiversity Action Plan recognises the diversity of plants and animals and the places they live (habitats), identifying them as local priorities. 

 

It is run by the Vale’s Biodiversity Partnership, whose aim to conserve and enhance these priorities by co-ordinating and carrying out actions to achieve favourable conservation status.

 

The LBAP has recently been reviewed, changing from the substantial paper document that was published in 2002 to a flexible, living document. This can be used to co-ordinate work on the ground, report on progress and inform Welsh and UK targets.

 

To find out more, you can explore each of the broad habitat types that the LBAP is structured around and their associated priority habitats and species. Go to our section of BARS, a web-based system that allows all partners and external parties to access detailed targets and actions easily.

 

A list of the LBAP’s broad habitats with its associated priority species and habitats is also available here
