The North East Biodiversity Forum produced an audit of biodiversity in the region in 2001. Copies are available on the North East Biodiversity website.
Natural England (formerly English Nature) has produced a report called Biodiversity Indicators and Targets for the North East of England on behalf of the North East Biodiversity Forum. The indicators and targets have been the subject of a wide consultation among member organisations of the forum, which includes us. The indicators cover statutory wildlife sites and national biodiversity priorities, as well as engaging people and business and contain the forum’s vision for a richer and more diverse natural environment, such as creating 2800 hectares of native semi-natural woodland and halting the loss of rare butterflies.
