The North East Biodiversity Forum produced an audit of biodiversity in the
region in 2001. Copies are available on the
North East
Biodiversity Forum website.
Natural England has produced a report on '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.
