The role of the Biodiversity Forum
• A vital bridge between national policy and local activity.
• linking ‘top – down’ national policy to ‘bottom – up’ local action, steering the region’s contribution to UK biodiversity.

Some of the immediate challenges are:
• Protect and enhance biodiversity on land & sea.
• Encourage more people to enjoy and take action for their local biodiversity.
• Act sustainably by putting biodiversity at the heart of the policy agenda.
• Help biodiversity to adapt to climate change.
