Biodiversity Action Plan

The Buckinghamshire & Milton Keynes Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) was originally produced in 2000 by the Bucks Nature Conservation Forum.

The BAP was revised in 2009 and is available for download as a number of documents.

It describes how the wildlife of Bucks & Milton Keynes is going to be enhanced and protected over a ten year period.

The BAP is divided into sections called Habitat Action Plans - each one details a specific habitat that is found in the county.

Each Habitat Action Plan contains Targets which are designed to contribute towards Targets in the UK Biodiversity Plan.

These Targets fall into 4 broad categories

  1. Maintaining Extent
  2. Achieving Condition
  3. Restoration of degraded habitat
  4. Creation of new habitat
