Biodiversity

The UK Biodiversity Action Plan (UKBAP)

Biodiversity encompasses the whole variety of life on Earth. It includes all species of plants and animals, but also their genetic variation, and the complex ecosystems of which they are part. It is not restricted to rare or threatened species but includes the whole of the natural world from the commonplace to the critically endangered.

The London Biodiversity Action Plan is produced by the London Biodiversity Partnership (quote taken from their website)

'The London Biodiversity Partnership is a group of public, private and voluntary organisations.'

'Together we aim to conserve and enhance the capital's wildlife and natural places for future generations to benefit from and enjoy.'

The Natural History Museum promote the discovery, understanding, enjoyment, and responsible use of the natural world.
