The objective of the Berkshire Local Nature Partnership is to promote the conservation and enhancement of Berkshire biodiversity.
What is Biodiversity?
It is simply a term meaning the variety and abundance of life on earth. It includes everything we consider to be 'nature'; trees, plants, mammals, birds, fish, insects and all the little things we can't see. It includes common habitats and species, such as urban parks and robins, to the rare and threatened natural areas, such as chalk grassland and its associated plants and insects.
More specifically we will achieve our objective by:
• Identifying and embedding local ecological networks (Making sure wildlife can move without obstruction).
• Helping to achieve a better range of outcomes through sustainable land management.
• Promoting the maintenance and enhancement of green infrastructure
• Helping to maintain the intrinsic character and beauty of the countryside
• Working with other local initiatives and plans on flooding and water quality
• Contribute to efforts to protect and improve public access to the countryside, nature and green space
• Helping to promote interest in, and uptake of, biodiversity offsetting
• Promoting green economic growth
• Contributing to quality of life and local health and wellbeing
• Working with other initiatives and partnerships
