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 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.

Current Status - Spring 2011

The activities of the Avon Biodiversity Partnership are currently on hold as a lack of funding has meant that we are unable to continue to employ a Partnership Coordinator.
