The Yorkshire and Humber Biodiversity Delivery Plan
The Yorkshire and Humber Biodiversity Delivery Plan outlines how the Yorkshire and Humber Biodiversity Forum (YHBF), aims to take forward the delivery of the Yorkshire and Humber portion of the UK BAP habitat targets (see Annex 3 of the Regional Biodiversity
Strategy). The Plan promotes an integrated set of actions for the period 2010-2015 to ensure we are better placed to meet our regional habitat targets and their associated species needs.
In line with the principles laid out in the England Biodiversity Strategy Delivery Framework, the Plan aims to meet its targets by identifying a number of priority landscape-scale project areas where we will increase and/or sustain activity. This will complement existing priority work and projects already underway or planned.
The Plan recognises that there are major programmes currently delivering biodiversity (both maintenance and enhancement) across Yorkshire and Humber, and highlights that is
essential that resources are not moved away from existing high priority projects. It is also
imperative that we continue to deliver across both our designated sites and protected areas. Maintenance and enhancement of our region’s most important biodiversity areas must remain a core aim of our conservation work, however we must also add to this the need for increased work to address restoration and creation of habitats.
