Stratford-on-Avon District Council

We are facing a biodiversity crisis. We advocate action at both the national and local levels to preserve and enhance biodiversity. We also recognise the importance of a healthy and biodiverse environment that ensures our future prosperity and the wellbeing of all who live and work in the District.We request that the Council lobby the government to meet its own international commitments on biodiversity, but we want to do our bit locally as well!We call for an increase in areas considered rich in habitats by initiating the development of council policy and practices on biodiversity and ensuring sustainable and significant biodiversity gain from new developments and call for new biodiversity sites to be included as part of the next local plan.We therefore pledge to provide leadership and to work with all organisational departments, partners and our communities to reverse the decline in biodiversity and deliver measurable biodiversity net gain within this district.We ask Council to develop local measures to prevent the loss of and to enhance biodiversity.
