Biodiversity - Kent Biodiversity Action Plan

The UK Biodiversity Action Plan is the government's response to the Convention on Biological Diversity signed in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. Each county has its own Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) and in Kent there is a BAP partnership steering group made up of representatives from a number of organisations, including the Kent and Medway Biological Records Centre, with a common focus for biodiversity conservation in Kent.

Kent is home to 28 BAP priority habitats which are now the focus of Habitat Action Plans (HAPs) produced by the Kent Biodiversity Partnership. Each HAP partnership sets out the steps needed to secure a healthy future for the habitat and for the wildlife that depends on the habitat for their survival. They provide up to date information on:

• The state of the habitat.
• The positive and negative factors affecting the habitat.
• The current action taking place to conserve the habitat.
• The objectives of the plan.
• The details of the lead partner organisation and the working group members involved.
