WHAT IS BIODIVERSITY?

Biological diversity or, Biodiversity describes the variety of life on earth. Some examples of how Biodiversity is encouraged or protected in Antrim include:

  • Education and awareness events
  • Delivery of the actions contained in the Borough of Antrim Local Biodiversity Action Plan by a variety of partners
  • Identify and motivate members of the public to carry out biological recordings

HOW CAN BIODIVERSITY BENEFIT US?

We may not be aware of it, but the biodiversity around us every day contributes to our quality of life and general well being. Conserving our biodiversity involves making sure that rare habitats and species do not become extinct. It also means making sure that the common species that we enjoy watching are present throughout our Borough and do not disappear from the areas where we live.

For further information on Biodiversity please contact Ruth Wilson T. 028 9446 3113 ext 1371 E. ruth.wilson@antrim.gov.uk
