Northern Ireland Biodiversity Strategy
Due to Northern Ireland's unique geology, mild climate, relatively long coastline and a long history of settled agriculture we have a wide variety of interesting habitats.
Northern Ireland Biodiversity Group (NIBG) identified major issues affecting Biodiversity in Northern Ireland in "Biodiversity in Northern Ireland: Recommendations to Government for a Biodiversity Strategy" the Agricultural Systems and Support, these included;
Coastal and Marine
Management Freshwater Use and Management
Construction and Development

The Government recognises the issues and sets out how to deal with them in the
Northern Ireland Biodiversity Strategy.
