The
London Biodiversity Audit consists of various audits and
statements for London's key habitats and species. Action
Plans have since been produced and common issues have
been addressed generically.
There is an introduction to the Audit below. There are also
introductions on the Habitat
Audit, Habitat
Statement and Species
Audit home pages. You can download PDFs of individual
Audits and Statements here, or link to the relevant page
for a summary of each. You can also download the introduction
to the Audit, or even the whole
document.
A
picture of the biodiversity resource in the area is
the first stage in any biodiversity planning process.
The London Biodiversity Audit (Volume 1 of the London
Biodiversity Action Plan) provides this picture - a
framework that led on to habitat, species and landuse
action plans at the London-wide level. The Audit will
evolve and be updated as a result of comments, and the
production of more accurate and detailed information.
If you have specific
comments on the London Biodiversity Audit, please email
us.
There are fifteen
habitat audits and four
habitat statements for those habitats where information
was scarce or not available. These Sections define the habitat,
describe the resource in London and identify the major threats
and opportunities for conservation - data sources are listed
and the rationale and limitations of approach outlined.
The
Species
Audit identifies by borough species that fit into
one or more of the following categories such as UK
Biodiversity Action Plan Priority or culturally valued.
This
has been done for nine major groups. There is a searchable
database
of these species - comments and corrections are welcomed.
